MBAs by the Numbers

With a record number of applicants — more than ten thousand — to the MBA Class of 2004, it seems that the acronym “B2B” could now stand for “Back to Business” School. From this impressive pool, MBA Program admissions officers selected a diverse group of students who arrived at Soldiers Field in the fall eager to hone their leadership skills, gain practical knowledge, and meet fellow students from myriad backgrounds. Meanwhile, the Class of 2002 embarked on new careers. Despite the downturn in the economy, recent graduates landed on their feet. Statistics for each group are below.


Class of 2004
Class Size 899
Women 35%
Minorities 24%
International 32%
Median Age 27
Total Countries Represented 71
