Among the diverse classes at each school, we wondered how large, exactly, is the proportion of women?<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>We at mbaMission examined the latest class profiles of 16 top-ranked business schools to determine which programs welcomed the most women among this year\u2019s incoming classes. Although no school has yet to break the 50% mark, some may be well on their way. Two programs\u2014the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania\u2014featured 44% women within the Class of 2019. The University of Michigan\u2019s Ross School of Business and the Yale School of Management followed closely with 43% each, as did Harvard Business School, the MIT Sloan School of Management, and the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, all with 42%. The fact that nearly all schools reported figures above 30% is quite encouraging. It will be interesting to see which business school will be the first to reach the halfway mark\u2014and when!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Role-of-Women-Within-the-Class-of-2019.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24828 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Role-of-Women-Within-the-Class-of-2019.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Role-of-Women-Within-the-Class-of-2019.png 698w, https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Role-of-Women-Within-the-Class-of-2019-300x255.png 300w\" alt=\"Representation of Women Within the Class of 2019 Approaches 50% - mbaMission\" width=\"698\" height=\"594\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\">\n<p class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students in the Class of 2019 have embarked on the journey toward their MBAs at business schools across the country.
