At the Wake Forest School of Business, diversity—the mix of different perspectives and experiences that make up a healthy, stimulating classroom—is of paramount importance. Our commitment to inclusion along the lines of race and ethnicity, (dis)ability, gender identity and gender expression, sexual orientation, nationality, age, religion, and social class creates a learning environment as rich and varied as the professional world awaiting you.
“The team approach with a diverse student body encourages cooperation and collective success among students, and promotes greater integration of varied business perspectives.”
– Lazetta Rainey Braxton, MBA ’04
