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, ethnicity, gender, physical capabilities, sexual orientation, age, religion and socioeconomic 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
