Duquesne ranks No. 2 among top universities in the country with robust gender diversity among MBA students. In a U.S. News & World Report listing, Duquesne was listed with 65 percent female enrollment in its MBA program. Still, according to Dr. Dean McFarlin, more needs to be done. “Business schools can play a critical role in preparing women for senior leadership positions when they focus on collaboration and provide students hands-on opportunities to tackle real problems, challenge convention, and overcome stereotypes,” he says. Nationwide, women comprise less than 40 percent of graduate-level business students, according to U.S. News & World Report, while female business school leaders are less than 20 percent.
