WHAT WOMEN WANT AND WHY A LARGER SHARE OF THEM ENROLL IN BUSINESS MASTER'S RATHER THAN MBA PROGRAMS

New white paper examines motivations and the biggest challenges women face in the business school application journey

RESTON, Va., March 8 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globally, women represent a greater share of the applicant pool than men in many of the business master’s programs, such as marketing, accounting and management. Women, however, are still underrepresented in MBA classrooms in the United States and around the world. What Women Want: A Blueprint for Change in Business Education is a new white paper from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) that identifies drivers of this continued lack of gender parity in MBA programs. The paper explores the biggest challenges women face in the business school application process and the differences between men and women in their motivations to pursue graduate business degrees. The white paper was issued in recognition of International Women’s Day celebrated globally and National Women’s History month in the United States.
