Figures

'Students seeking their master of business administration degree admit cheating more than any other type of student, from law to liberal arts.

"We have found that graduate students in general are cheating at an alarming rate and business-school students are cheating even more than others," concludes a study by the Academy of Management Learning and Education of 5,300 students in the United States and Canada.

Many of these students reportedly believe cheating is an accepted practice in business. More than half (56 percent) of M.B.A. candidates say they cheated in the past year. For the study, cheating was defined as plagiarizing, copying other students' work, and bringing prohibited materials into exams.'
