<p>Many of these students reportedly believe cheating is an accepted practice in business. More than half (56%) 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. </p>

<p>McCabe notes that many more students probably cheat than admit in the study. He and the others recommend a series of efforts based upon notions of ethical community-building be put into practice at the graduate-school level. The essence of an ethical community is that by doing wrong -- cheating in this case -- all of the stakeholders in the community are harmed, not just the wrongdoer.</p>

<p>Before I chose business as my major I didn't know it was the most popular major. I believe that business degree is a medium difficulty degreee. You have to pick a specialization and set yourself apart. Get you CPA or CFA which are not by any means easy. A significant amount of people fail both test.</p>
