Rutgers University Business School professor Donald McCabe conducted two different studies,
one of which, published in 2006, surveyed 54 colleges in the U.S. and Canada during the 2002-
2003 and 2003-2004 school years. This study found that MBA students cheat more than graduate
students in any other field. The other study, yet to have been published, focused on undergraduates
from the fall of 2002 to the spring of 2008. McCabe said he found similar results for
undergraduates in that study.
McCabe, who has spent 19 years studying undergraduate and graduate students across the country,
has surveyed 170,000 students at 165 colleges and universities and 18,500 faculty members at 115
institutions, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. McCabe said that he was not surprised
by these recent results and added that he believes ethics among students in general is changing but
not necessarily for the better.
