WOMEN IN BUSINESS SCHOOL

Business schools have historically had trouble attracting enough female students, with only small strides made in the past decade. Female enrollment at 25 of the top U.S. full-time MBA programs hovers around 31% according to a 2007 study by the Forte Foundation, a consortium of schools working to increase the number of women pursuing MBAs. Many business schools leaders who would like to see that number increase are implementing new programs and strategies aimed at women.
