Because each school admits its own students into the common program, GMAT requirements vary by school. Most of our schools require the GMAT, although extensive business experience and advanced degrees are considered in lieu of the GMAT.

• Columbus State University, Georgia Southern University, Kennesaw State University, and Valdosta State University will consider a GMAT waiver for applicants with an advanced degree (e.g., Master's).
• Georgia Southern applicants may petition to have the GMAT requirement waived. Under certain circumstances, a GMAT waiver may be considered. Students meeting admissions criteria can be admitted on a provisional basis until the admissions committee makes a final determination.
• Columbus State University will allow applicants with extensive experience to petition the graduate committee for an exception to the GMAT/GRE requirement.
• Georgia College WebMBA applicants may petition to substitute significant professional experience in place of the GMAT/GRE. Please contact the Director of Graduate Programs in Business for a copy of the guidelines for using professional experience as an admission criterion. Successful applicants typically report eight to ten years of full-time professional experience after receiving a bachelor's degree.
• Kennesaw State University will consider a GMAT waiver for applicants with substantial management experience, as determined by its admissions committee.
• Georgia Southern University: To be considered as a candidate for the MBA program, a prospective student must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited College or University. Admission to the MBA Program is competitive and decisions are made on a rolling-basis. Seats are filled as decisions are made, so candidates are encouraged to complete their applications as soon as possible.

The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) may be taken year-round, at test centers throughout the world. Although it is possible to schedule your test within a few days of the test date, popular dates, especially weekends, book quickly.

If you have been out of school for several years or more, you may benefit from taking an on-line GMAT preparation course.
