This major university offers a perk that few on this list can claim: Its female managers and executives can simply walk on over to its renowned school of management and enroll in its Executive MBA program, or (if they have a little less work experience) sign up for a Professional MBA. University employees are often eligible for one free undergraduate course each semester, and the wide availability of alternative work schedules (from flextime to telecommuting and compressed workweeks) makes finding time to pursue their education even easier. Such access helps women rise through the ranks; they now fill 37% of executive positions and earn 34% of the highest salaries.
