Despite advancements, female representation in MBA and MiM programs remains below parity:

– Leading institutions like George Washington University (65% women), Oxford Said, Johns Hopkins Carey, and Cambridge Judge approach or achieve gender balance

– Asian markets, including India, show growth but trail behind Western counterparts in female enrollment figures

– Specialized master’s programs (MiM, Marketing, Finance) increasingly attract majority female cohorts
