A Word about the Undergraduate Degree
Applicants to the MSM program come from varied backgrounds. Many hold undergraduate degrees in management or in technical areas such as computer science or engineering while others have degrees in the liberal arts or basic science.
In evaluating applicants to the program, we focus primarily on academic performance at the undergraduate level with less emphasis placed on the discipline in which the degree was earned.
The GMAT
Applicants to the MSM who do not hold an advanced degree (master's or doctorate in any field) from a US or Canada-based accredited program are required to take the GMAT.
You can learn more about the GMAT at www.mba.com and www.ets.org.
