Business Schools Seek Out Diverse Candidates

Today’s graduate business schools look for candidates with a wide range of cultural backgrounds. 

The Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), the global non-profit council of the world’s leading business programs, has been working with schools for decades to diversify their student bodies and create access for anyone interested in pursuing a graduate management education.

In addition to providing support for schools and students, GMAC conducts extensive research every year, collecting data and information from those interested in business school, GMAT test-takers, and others. Through this research, GMAC identifies trends important to those groups. In this section, we address the most pervasive question we hear from diverse candidates.
