Jack Ewing, Kerry Capell, and Andrea Zammert. Business Week, 3/13/06, Issue 3975, p. 88

More and more North American MBA students are choosing to study at European business schools, a growing trend in the world of academe. For many, the price — quite reasonable when compared to that of American business programs — is a deciding factor. The emphasis on multiculturalism and persevering in new surroundings is also very beneficial to students, particularly in terms of their career prospects following graduation. Many employers today place tremendous importance on the value of international education when reviewing potential employees.
