Minority students include those who are U.S. citizens and have African, Hispanic, Native or Asian American heritage. It is important to understand that these groups have a history of being underrepresented in positions of influence in our country. Some day it will not be necessary, as a matter of fact it may be absurd, to identify individual citizens by ethnic heritage. Until that day arrives, these are the measures we use. The chart above depicts the Johnson School's status in this area, with figures for the last five graduating classes.

The Johnson School programs supporting minorities in business include our partnerships with the MBA Diversity Alliance (MBADA) and Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) to reach prospective minority students and encourage them to apply to business school; Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD) summer business institute for high school minority students; Johnson Means Business annual minority recruiting weekend; and Minority Welcome Picnic for new and returning students to network with each other, faculty and staff.

We also work with student clubs & organizations such as the Black Graduate Business Association (BGBA), Hispanic American Business Leaders Association (HABLA), Out for Business (O4B) and the Women's Management Council (WMC) to provide support for members and events.
