Forté MBA Forums
Discover the value of an MBA.
Forté MBA Forums are free events held annually to empower women — whether you're looking to change careers, a college student planning for the future, or a professional ready for career advancement.
The ROI of an MBA degree is not just financial. When more women earn MBAs, they open new doors for themselves, level up their careers, and gain the opportunity to leave their mark on the business world.
Join us to learn about the MBA advantage, connect with admissions reps at leading business schools, hear from successful MBA women who have been in your shoes, and expand your network.
