Business schools and their portfolio of MBA, Masters, and executive programs are powerful career accelerators, often enabling their graduates to subsequently take on senior leadership roles. Sixty years ago, the all-male faculty at Harvard Business School voted to allow women to apply to the full-time MBA program. Eight women were accepted in the following admissions cycle and began their studies in August 1963.
By 2004, 35% of the HBS MBA class were women. The same year, the proportion of leadership roles held by females worldwide stood at 19%, according to the Women in Business report published by professional services network, Grant Thornton. In 2021 this figure had reached 31%. There is still a long way to go to, but it is encouraging to see that Wharton’s latest MBA class is more than 50% women for the first time in the school’s history, with Northwestern’s Kellogg at 49% and Duke Fuqua at 48%.
