MBA Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
The Notre Dame MBA is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community of diverse students, faculty and staff in a culture that respects the dignity of all. Our commitments include:
Increasing diversity within our community through active recruitment of diverse perspectives.
Cultivating a culture of inclusion through active engagements, collaborations and partnerships.
Advancing the professional development of all members of our community.
Integrating DE&I throughout the curriculum to build awareness and understanding.
Through an engaged and equitable application process, the Notre Dame MBA strives to create a diverse student body in each cohort. Further, by committing financial resources and partnering with organizations that are also dedicated to advancing equal access to business education, the program is able to support qualified applicants from underrepresented groups.
A strong academic community and engaged alumni network are built from an inclusive and supportive environment. As part of Mendoza's flagship graduate business program, students from the Notre Dame MBA are pivotal to shaping Mendoza's inclusive culture through their leadership of student organizations, celebration of affinity and identities, and special interests in the business community.
