All participating Georgia WebMBA ® schools require entrance testing, although schools will consider a GMAT waiver based on substantial management/business experience or completion of an advanced degree - such as a Masters. All five schools will consider a GMAT waiver under certain conditions. Kennesaw State University, Georgia Southern University, and Valdosta State University will consider a GMAT waiver for applicants with an advanced degree (e.g., Master’s). University of West Georgia will consider a GMAT waiver for applicants with substantial management experience, as determined by its admissions committee. Valdosta will consider a waiver based on substantial business experience, which the admissions committee determines. Valdosta will also accept the GRE instead of the GMAT. Program directors will provide the specific GMAT standards required for admissions into their schools. They also will help you find resources to prepare for the test. Because each school admits its own students into the common program, GMAT requirements vary by school.

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.
