Do You Qualify for the GMAT/GRE Waiver?

Applicants who meet the following criteria are eligible for the GMAT/GRE waiver:

  • Earned a BBA degree from an AACSB-accredited school (Click to view the list of AACSB Accredited Schools)
  • Minimum GPA of 3.25 in all upper division coursework (300-level or higher) used to grant your BBA degree. This includes management AND non-management courses.

All applicants granted a waiver must attend a writing workshop. Applicants who received their BBA over 5 years ago or earned below a 3.0 in MATH 180 or an equivalent course, will be required to take MGMT 500. Applicants who earned a 3.0 or better in MATH 180, or an equivalent course, or a higher level math course, are not required to take MGMT 500. If you fail to meet the minimum GPA requirement, you will need to take the GMAT or GRE entrance test.

Applicants request the GMAT/GRE waiver by checking the appropriate box on the Application for Graduate Admission.

The calculator below is provided for prospective students to calculate their GPA to verify if they meet the GMAT/GRE waiver policy requirements.
