Oct. 7, 2008 - Online MBA Survey Reveals Most Distance MBAs Require No GMAT or GRE

Considering an Online MBA (Master's of Business Administration) but don’t want to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Exam (GRE)?

GetEducated.com’s National Survey of Online MBAs has revealed that the majority of regionally accredited online business schools—more than 70 percent—have abolished the GRE or GMAT for MBA admission.

Even more surprising, 10 out of 50—or 20 percent—of AACSB-accredited online MBAs do not require the GRE or GMAT for admission.

“The no GMAT or GRE MBA admission trend in online education is not a sign of inferior quality,” explains Vicky Phillips, GetEducated.com’s chief online education analyst. “It’s a sign of changing student demographics.

"Because online MBA degree programs cater to nontraditional, older adult students, many of them are abandoning old-school tests—tests which were designed as measures of preparedness for students who had recently completed an undergraduate education.

"Instead, online MBA programs look for adult students who demonstrate real-life success in the world of work.”

GetEducated.com’s National Survey of Online MBAs uncovered 89 accredited distance MBAs which do not require the GRE or GMAT.

In an effort to help consumers understand their online graduate business school options, GetEducated.com offers free consumer resources:
