All applicants are required to take the Graduate Manage-ment Admission Test (GMAT) before final acceptance. This is an aptitude test administered by the Educational Testing Service that is designed to measure certain mental skills that business school students need. There is evidence that test scores are an excellent predictor of success. The test is not a measure of achievement or knowledge in any specific subject area, and those who take the test are neither required nor expected to have had undergraduate preparation in management subjects.

The GMAT is given at many education centers in the United States and abroad, although it is not given at every testing center on every date. If the testing center nearest you is a long distance from your residence, the Educational Testing Service will, on request, arrange to administer the test at a more convenient location on the same date, but you must make arrangements for such testing at least two months in advance.

If you are currently enrolled in college, you should take the test during your senior year, even if you intend to apply for admission at a later date.

The C.W. Post Campus is home to Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.
