Simon Business School is deeply committed to creating opportunities for female leaders to learn and excel within their chosen professions. In addition to a world-class education, we offer our female MBA students platforms to network and gain practical on-the-job experience. Fellowships are also available to qualified female students.
Throughout their time at Simon, and long after they graduate, female MBA students can count on Simon Women in Business (SWiB), an organization that focuses on developing the tools, resources, and connections needed to help female students obtain fulfilling internships and successful careers. SWiB engages students, faculty, staff, and alumni through programs and information focusing on the real issues and concerns of women in the business world.
The organization hosts speakers and career-oriented events year-round. Past functions include:
Simon Business School has a long history of support and engagement with Forté, a non-profit working to launch women into successful and significant careers. Through Forté’s alliance of leading companies, top schools, and pioneering donors, we empower women to rise higher.
