The GW School of Business was ranked as one of the top 10 business schools to provide opportunities for women in the Princeton Review’s “Best 282 Business Schools” report for 2007.

“GW’s top-10 ranking demonstrates the continued progress of our MBA program,” said Susan Phillips, the dean of the School of Business, in a press release. “We strive to provide equal opportunities to all of our students, and we’re especially glad that women in our program are making big strides in comparison to other business programs around the country.”

The rankings are based on student assessment of resources for females, the school’s support of female culture, the percentage of female students and the percentage of female faculty. The Princeton Review also looked at courses offered for female entrepreneurs and whether case-study materials for classes reflected women in business proportionately.

The Princeton Review also considered GW’s location’s impact on curriculum and faculty quality.

According to the Office of Institutional Research, the school’s undergraduate population in 2005 was 40 percent female. In the MBA program, 51 percent of students are female. Enrollment data is not yet available for fall 2006. There were 29 female and 89 male full-time faculty members in GW’s School of Business in fall 2005.
