You can be confident that the Western MBA Program is one of the highest value MBA Programs in the Pacific Northwest and one of the best MBA Programs in Washington State.  The educational foundation the Western MBA Program provides is high quality, rigorously designed, professionally delivered and student focused.

   The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is a standardized test given by the Graduate Management Admission Council and is used to assess skill levels in areas that have been found to contribute to success in graduate programs.  The GMAT is not a test of specific business knowledge but is a general test, much like the SAT, that tests basic quantitative, reasoning, verbal and analytical writing skills. 
   
   The admissions committee does not use predetermined cutoff points for GMAT scores – recently, successful applicants have achieved an average score of about 540 - 580. The GMAT can be scheduled online by visiting www.mba.com and navigating to the "Taking the GMAT" page.
