According to the Graduate Management Admission Council,  more firms are planning to hire MBA graduates in 2011.  However, the new graduates are likely to have a starting salary close to the 2010 graduates.  The increased hiring is a good sign for the job market and will likely increase MBA applications for the new year.

Fortune has an interesting article comparing entrepreneurship programs at Harvard and Stanford business schools.  Stanford has had one of the most comprehensive entrepreneurship programs for many years.  The short distance from Sand Hill Road and Silicon Valley VC’s are only one of the reasons for the programs strength.  Stanford courses are taught by a faculty member and a practitioner in the field.
