Women’s Programs and Admissions Events at Top MBA Programs

October 1, 2024

Business schools value the perspectives and experiences that diverse groups bring to their programs, and they go to great lengths to attract and welcome all, including women, minorities, LGBTQIA+, and international students. The top 25 MBA programs in the United States all have women-focused clubs, groups, events, and programs. These avenues help women network, connect, learn how to handle challenging workplace situations, and ultimately provide support and encouragement to each other during their pursuit of an MBA.

As you research MBA programs, you should consider attending events held by the schools you are interested in and talking to students, alumni, and staff as part of your research to gain additional insights.
