Women at Simon

Though highly selective, the Simon School encourages all men and women with distinguished backgrounds to apply. Some 30 percent of our full-time student body is female; 37 percent of our Executive M.B.A. class is female; over half our M.S. students are women; and 24 percent of our part-time M.B.A. students are women. Attracting and advancing women is a priority here at Simon. A Simon degree offers our female students a top-notch business education, as well as the best business connections the world has to offer. We are the top choice for companies recruiting women employees.

The Simon School is a partner with the Forté Foundation, a consortium of major corporations, top business schools and influential nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to substantially increasing the number of women in business.

Current initiatives include:

  • Forté Forums – a multi-city educational and networking series featuring business schools and corporations.
  • Forté Scholarships – Monetary support to help defray the cost of an MBA.
  • Forté Scholar Symposiums – Summer interns at New York-based companies exchange experiences and establish networks.

The Simon Association of Women M.B.A.s  is a strong and dynamic organization open to all students, faculty, staff and alumni of the Simon School. The mission of the Forum is to share programs and information focusing on the real issues and concerns of women in the Simon community and the business world. The club actively networks with Simon alumnae to further highlight the advancement of women in business.
