Vault CGSM Guide to Business School Diversity Business schools understand that every career starts with an education, and the surest way to an executive-level position is an MBA degree. For the past 40 years, business schools have worked to diversify their faculty and student body?increase the number of women and minority students and faculty?and therefore the business world. They have devoted increased resources and funding to diversity initiatives, both on campus and off. The Vault/CGSM Guide to Business School Diversity was developed to provide prospective students with a complete view of business school diversity programs. We hope that the information contained within this guide will enable students to find the school that fits them best. Pages: 1160 Price: 34.95  |
The complete survey sent to each business school is printed in the guide. In cases where a school did not respond to a question or Vault was unable to gather information, the unanswered question is not reprinted in their profile?it is simply left out. To see which questions were omitted, you can refer to the full text of the survey.
We encourage you to use the information in the guide as a springboard to empower you to pick the best school for you. Ask yourself: will you feel supported and challenged at the school? How will it position you for your postgraduate life? In other words, how will the school?s efforts measure up to your personal goals and developmental needs?
The survey upon which the Vault/CGSM Guide to Business School Diversity is based was finalized by a committee composed of representatives from diversity offices at top companies and business schools. Participants included Fatimah Gilliam of Citigroup Inc., Tyrone Ried of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Ben Elkin of the Target Corporation, Ellen Briones of the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, Jeanine Morgillo of the Yale School of Management and Lawrence J. Mur?ray III of the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Definitions
The survey refers to full-time, part-time and executive MBA students at United States business schools. As some business schools also include doctoral and undergraduate programs, we have asked schools to provide information on programs to which MBA students have access. The survey also includes university-wide programs and events that enrich the lives and experiences of MBA students.
For the purposes of this survey, we are defining ?minority? as U.S. citizens and permanent residents whose race is other than white/Caucasian, including subgroups such as African-American/black, Hispanic/Latino, Alaskan/American Indian, Asian, Native Hawaii or other Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern and multiracial.
We also asked schools to provide information about programs directed at female students, as women comprise about 30 percent of the business school students across the United States and can therefore be considered underrepresented in the student body.
