        Full-time MBA Program

        • GMAT/GRE Waiver Policy

          The Auburn Full-Time MBA program will waive the GMAT/GRE test score under the following criteria:

          Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution and:

          • 2+ years of experience* AND 3.50+ GPA
          • 4+ years of experience* AND 3.25+ GPA
          • 6+ years of experience* AND 3.0+ GPA
          • 8+ years of experience* (This level of experience also qualifies you for the Executive MBA program. Please schedule an appointment to discuss the program options available to you.)
          • Terminal Degree (Those with a MD or DO degree also qualify for the Physicians Executive MBA program. Please schedule an appointment to discuss the program options available to you.)

          *Experience is defined as professional, full-time and post-undergraduate or military experience.

          Additional waiver requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Waiver requests can be completed online; however, it is advised to schedule an appointment with an admissions advisor in advance of submitting your request. 

          For Full-Time MBA applicants, a competitive GMAT/GRE test score is encouraged for both Graduate Assistantship and scholarship consideration.

          Important to note: Being granted a GMAT/GRE waiver does not guarantee admission to the program.
