Significant Increase in the Number of Female B-School Students

Though business schools have been quite vocal in their demand of better women representation at the top rung of the corporate hierarchy but little was done. However, things are gathering steam finally as the lowly figures of female enrolment witness a significant change.

The White House Initiative

At the initiative of the White house, in the recent past no less than forty top schools pledged to give their diversity a much needed boost amidst the prevailing sentiment of inclusiveness.

Ever since, the graphs for figures of female enrolment have witnessed a great surge. The Tuck School of Business in Dartmouth witnessed 42% of its incoming class of MBA cohorts being women which was an increase of a healthy 10% from that of the previous year and a record for the institution in itself. Wharton, Kellogg School and Chicago Booth reported increase in percentage of the number of female MBA cohorts.

According to Bill Boulding who happens to be the dean at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, solid steps are being taken by MBA schools to make sure student diversity is an essential part of demographics of their students.

The Larger Picture

This follows close on the heels of concerns that there was an absence of diversity in top MBA programs which was an echo of a broader problem faced by corporate institutions. This led to significant investment by schools to develop and put into use new strategies to attract female students.

Harvard Business School, for one, launched its Gender Initiative in May and MIT Sloan School has also jumped on the bandwagon. The Berkeley-Haas School in California followed suit with their “Gender Equity Initiative leading to an increase of 50% female students when accounted year-over-year.

This change is not limited to North America alone and has found echoes in countries like China and UK as well. Take for instance the Fudan University School of Management in China, 59% of whose students were female in the MBA class of the previous day. Similarly Imperial College and Lancaster University Management School had 50% female students as women among its MBA cohorts. A group of business schools in Australia is also looking forward towards raising $20 million in order to enroll 320 female cohorts over a period of three years.

But the problem, as Dr. Shaheena Janjuha-Jivraj who is an associate professor at Henley Business School, puts it is that a post graduate program is worth the investment.

The GMAT

This increase in the number of MBA cohorts at top MBA programs may also be partially be attributed to the increase in the number of women sitting for the GMAT which is the common entrance test to business schools.

According to data revealed by the administrator of the test the GMAC  that more women are sitting for the test than men in several countries among which include China, Finland and Russia. There was a total of 17,479 more females than males studying for GMAT in these countries.

But some academics opine that the recruitment part is only a piece of the larger jigsaw puzzle where the administrative and academic leadership is dominated by males and overwhelmingly so.
