Women Catch Up With Men at More Top Business Schools

From a Wall Street Journal story by Lindsay Ellis headlined “Women Catch Up With Men at More Top Business Schools”:

Women now make up at least half of full-time M.B.A. students at five top business schools, the most to reach that milestone in a given year.

The rising share of female M.B.A. candidates reflects business schools’ concerted efforts to recruit more women in recent years. Full-time M.B.A. programs at Penn State University and the University of Oxford hit parity for the first time this academic year. They join those at George Washington University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Pennsylvania, according to the Forté Foundation, a nonprofit focused on advancing women into leadership roles via access to business education.
