Women have more of a preference for part-time MBA programs than men, despite the fact that they are only slightly more likely to prefer a longer MBA program. This information comes from the 2011 QS Applicant Survey, the largest survey assessing the mind-set and aspirations of MBA applicants. The survey data is based on the responses of 4,527 registrants for fall 2010 and spring 2011 QS World MBA Tour. Read on for more data about the differences in MBA program preferences between men and women, as well as information on how gender affects the motivations for getting an MBA.

The importance of relevant role models
Written by Aled Owens
A week ago, I was lucky enough to find myself sat in the 10th row of a speech given by former President Bill Clinton at American University in Washington DC. Clinton touched on a number of topics in his 90-minute address and Q&A, but his over arching theme (and his reason for being there) was to communicate the need for young professionals - future business leaders - to acknowledge and act on social, economic and climatic changes: to take responsiblity for the present and future state of the world and the people who live in it.
The TopMBA Connect team is located in New York City, a key hotspot for social entrepreneurship, technology and the international business community.
