的确是。现在各种MBA远程教育，备考辅导，全脱产班、全业余班、还有什么基本业余班都层出不穷，看得人头昏眼花。“挂羊头卖狗肉”的情况也确实存在。不过一些名校的MBA课程还是有口皆碑的，他们和国际知名学校合作并聘请了很多国际名师前来授课，为国际化企业职业经理人提供了学习和交流的平台。有的学校推出的只是一些相关的培训课程，并不是MBA学位，但是仍有很多人前来报名，也说明了并不是所有人都是为了学历。

That's for sure. All kinds of MBA distance education, test prep coaching, work-study programs, basic part-time classes and such are coming out one after another. You get dizzy looking at them all. Then there's also ``bait and switch." But some top schools' MBA programs really do get wide praise. They cooperate with famous international schools and hire renowned international professors to come teach. They give managers from international companies a platform for study and exchange. What some schools have introduced is just related classes, certainly not an MBA degree. But a lot of people still come to sign up, which just goes to show that not everybody is doing it for the education.
