The <em>Financial Times <\/em>combined several data points on alumnae from 2014, including\u00a0salaries of alumnae three years after graduation, the salary increase for women graduates before and after completing their MBA, and the gender wage gap between male and female graduates. On average, Simon women graduates reported earnings comparable to male counterparts, thus effectively closing the pay gap. Female graduates reported earning an average salary of more than $128,000 per year and reported salary increase of 148 percent after completing their MBA. This salary percentage increase ranks Simon #2 among US business schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimon has a long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion in its classrooms,\u201d says Andrew Ainslie, dean of the Simon Business School. \u201cAs we celebrate the social and economic achievements of women, we should acknowledge our progress yet understand there\u2019s more work to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A total of 33 percent of Simon\u2019s full-time MBA student body and more than half of the full-time MS student body is female.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAttracting top female students to Simon has always been a priority,\u201d says Rebekah Lewin, assistant dean of admissions at the Simon Business School. \u201cThrough the Forte Foundation and Simon Women in Business, we\u2019ve developed crucial scholarships, symposiums and networking groups that help women flourish in business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Financial Times<\/em> ranking consisted of 11 different criteria, of which 70 percent was derived from alumnae responses and 30 percent from school-reported data. This ranking used similar methodology to the 2018 Global MBA Ranking. The 11 criteria include: salary today; salary increase; gender pay gap; number of female students; number of female faculty; women on the school\u2019s advisory board; international mobility; value for the money; career progression; general satisfaction of students; and career services. A total of 58 schools met the minimum threshold of female responses to be ranked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.simon.rochester.edu\/news-and-media\/news\/news-details\/index.aspx?nid=574\">More from the Simon Business School &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Simon Business School is ranked number 13 in the United States and number 21 in the world by the <em>Financial Times<\/em> in its first-ever ranking of the top 50 MBA programs for women. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1072,"featured_media":304312,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[456],"tags":[736,10406],"class_list":["post-304292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society-culture","tag-rankings","tag-simon-business-school"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Simon ranked as a top 15 MBA for women<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Simon Business School is ranked number 13 in the United States and number 21 in the world by the Financial Times in its first-ever ranking of the top 50 MBA programs for women.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/simon-ranked-as-a-top-15-mba-for-women-304292\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Simon ranked as a top 15 MBA for women\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Simon Business School is ranked number 13 in the United States and number 21 in the world by the Financial Times in its first-ever ranking of the top 50 MBA programs for women.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/simon-ranked-as-a-top-15-mba-for-women-304292\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"News Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-08T21:56:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-03-13T21:22:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fea-simons-women-lead.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Yael Schneiderman\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Yael Schneiderman\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/simon-ranked-as-a-top-15-mba-for-women-304292\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/simon-ranked-as-a-top-15-mba-for-women-304292\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Yael Schneiderman\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/4695f8fa31436bacd0f425654e6aeff9\"},\"headline\":\"Simon ranked as a top 15 MBA for women\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-03-08T21:56:34+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-03-13T21:22:32+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/simon-ranked-as-a-top-15-mba-for-women-304292\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":333,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/simon-ranked-as-a-top-15-mba-for-women-304292\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/03\\\/fea-simons-women-lead.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"rankings\",\"Simon Business School\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Society &amp;
