GRE/GMAT Criteria

The GRE and GMAT help assess whether applicants have the quantitative, verbal, and analytical skills required to succeed in our graduate business programs. However, Florida Southern recognizes that some applicants may be able to demonstrate their potential to succeed in a classroom without either of these tests.

All GRE/GMAT waiver criteria will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis upon submission of the application and all required materials. Additionally, qualifying managerial experience is determined at the discretion of the Admission Committee upon review of the completed application.

To be considered for a GRE/GMAT waiver, you must hold a 3.00+ cumulative GPA or higher and meet one of the following criteria:

  1. Applicant is a graduate of an AACSB-accredited business school with a 3.25+ cumulative GPA
