Abstract

This Chapter explores the reasons for and provides a range of ways for faculty members, staff and administrators to build a bridge that will encourage and help a higher number of at-risk, underrepresented and female students matriculate directly into the MBA program upon completion of an undergraduate degree. First, the chapter will provide data driven reasons why it is in the best interest of at-risk, underrepresented minority and female students to pursue a graduate degree. Second, it will provide concrete and proven examples of how to help these student's move directly from undergraduate degrees into the MBA program. The examples of how to encourage this direct pathway fall into three categories: faculty focus, curriculum design and university-wide systems.
