More international demand & ladies at Biz School...

If you read the article that was posted, it's really only talking about MBAs, which buck the general trend for gender percentages in higher ed. Women make up less than 50% of MBA students both in the US and internationally, according to what I have read. 

I don't think anyone claimed that women make up the majority of MBA students.  The claim is that the percentage of female applicants is increasing.  Clearly if it continues to increase, a trend that appears to be occurring, then at some point in the near future they might become the majority.  Maybe not, but it wouldn't surprise me if they hit the 50% mark within the next few years.

Hmmm .... maybe message boards leave a lot of room for misinterpretation.

I wasn't claiming that anyone claimed that women make up the majority of MBA students. Here's what I was thinking when I was reading the thread and then posted:

"BJ posted an article about applications to MBA programs and said more women pursuing business degrees could be part of an equalizing trend. Alpha posted that more young women are enrolled in college than men, and dfrecore seconded that. But ... what does women's undergrad enrollment have to do with MBAs? Does the article claim that fewer women are in college than men? No. Did BJ? No. OK, I guess I'll make a post bringing this back to MBAs."

My point was that WAY more women graduate college than men, and more women get master's degrees than men, and more women get doctoral degrees than men, so eventually it will happen to specific ones like the MBA.  It's just a question of numbers at this point.  Bringing it right back to MBA's for you. You're welcome.
