An Opportunity for Universities to Experience Collective Growth with NBMBAA Collegiate Programs

The business world runs on diversity with a tapestry woven over different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. While many business schools struggle to provide a truly inclusive environment, we offer NBMBAA collegiate programs to ensure that the struggle ends here.

This collegiate program is a powerful step in the direction of bridging the non-inclusive gap while fostering a successful business school.

In this blog, we will explore what the NBMBAA Collegiate Programs have to offer and how universities can benefit from this collaboration.

The developing pool of top talent
The NBMBAA has a robust network of more than 11,000 members across 40 professional chapters. Partnering with the program can help business schools gain direct access to highly talented and motivated Black students. The NBMBAA is passionately dedicated to empowering the Black community in the world of business education. Currently, its members represent a diverse range of academic backgrounds, experiences, and future goals.

Through this partnership, more access is gained to NBMBAA collegiate programs for its members in a much wider pool. It attracts students to classrooms of various perspectives and real-life experiences. As a business school, your commitment to diversity and inclusion is more evident sending a message to prospective students that your education institute values a diverse range of viewpoints.

  • The NBMBAA collegiate programs offer the following benefits to partnering institutes:
  • Mutually beneficial relationships
  • Long-term and holistic collaboration
  • Increased access to various resources and incentives
  • Opportunity to increase awareness and facilitate access
  • Discounts on annual conference registrations

Beyond the attraction of diversified talent
A partnership with NBMBAA crosses the boundaries of simply attracting new talent. It offers a wealth of resources and expertise to help your business school develop an inclusive and well-rounded curriculum.

  • An NBMBAA may be invited as a guest speaker to convey professional experiences and insights to aspiring business school students. This can lead to providing students with valuable mentorship under Black business leaders.
  • The collegiate program can connect you with real-life case studies and examples that highlight the unique challenges and opportunities businesses face in the Black community. By integrating these perspectives into the curriculum, management schools can provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the business landscape.
  • The collegiate program membership also offers valuable feedback to construct or reconstruct a curriculum that is more culturally relevant and responsive to the experiences of Black students. This may involve adding diverse viewpoints to discussions, projects, and course materials.

By entering the NBMBAA collegiate programs, business schools gain the advantage of being associated with a valuable partner. This collaboration can foster inclusive excellence as other institutes such as The Consortium, DePaul University, Emory, Lane College, Kogod School of Business, and other educational institutes are providing.

Through our collegiate program, we are actively seeking forward-thinking institutions to join us in shaping the future of business education. So, if you are interested in learning about our program and accessing a diverse pool of talent, then feel free to connect with us and become an NBMBAA Collegiate Programs Partner today.
