高管为何愿付高昂学费?

这位学员多半在开玩笑，但那景色确实令人叹为观止，正如那个课程的价格。不过，像埃伯利这样的高管还是愿意排着队交175678美元的学费来注册这个课程。就好像衰退根本没发生过一样。沃顿商学院旧金山校区甚至将上月开课的课程学费调高了1%。位于加州的沃顿商学院旧金山校区距离位于费城宾夕法尼亚大学(University of Pennsylvania)的主校区可能有3000英里，但凭借沃顿的品牌、10年的经营和高科技教学手段，该校区在西海岸的企业家教育十分成功，足以让它安然度过风暴。

"People still don't think San Francisco when they think Wharton," admits Bernadette Birt, executive director of the programme. "But many students come here with ideas already brewing in their heads and ready to step out as entrepreneurs."

"如今大家仍然不能把旧金山和沃顿商学院联系起来。"该项目执行主任贝尔纳黛特•伯特(Bernadette Birt)坦承，"但我们的许多学员在入校之时就已怀有创业的想法，打算在毕业之时成为企业家。"

Still, the waters could yet get a little choppy as competition on the west coast increases. The lampposts in San Francisco's financial district that do not carry advertisements for Wharton, carry ones for Babson College, the business school that specialises in entrepreneurship and which launched a fast-track MBA in the city in 2010. Across the bay, UC Berkeley will launch its MBA for executives in 2013, after Berkeley's Haas School of Business and Columbia Business School agreed to wind up the joint EMBA they have run since 2002.
