Sloan Plans Annual Diversity Weekend
MIT Sloan School of Management will hold its third annual Diversity Weekend October 2 through October 3, 2014. The purpose of the event is to provide an opportunity for prospective minority students to get a sense of what life is like as an MIT Sloan student.
The event is a collaboration between the MIT Sloan Admissions Office, minority MBA students and organizations on campus. Current students help to plan the program and are serving as personal hosts for attendees by providing overnight accommodations.
Fordham Welcomes Most Diverse MBA Class in History
This fall’s incoming classes in Fordham Graduate School of Business Administration’s MBA and MS programs are breaking records in nearly every demographic. The program’s total population is at an all-time high this year, with more than 1,650 full-time and part-time students participating in 20 degree-granting courses of study.
Fordham GBA has come a long way from its beginnings in 1969 as an exclusively part-time business school. Full-time MBA students now comprise more than two-thirds of that program’s enrollment, and diversity across all programs has also been on the rise. Women make up 54 percent of its total enrollment, and international students representing 42 countries account for 71 percent of the student body, an increase of 11 percent over last year.
In addition to an increase in size and diversity, Fordham GBA admissions have become more selective, with average GMAT scores up by more than 65 points over the last three years.
