3. Is the GMAT a Requirement?

The Queen's Accelerated MBA for Business Graduates program does not initially require applicants to write the GMAT. Applicants considering our program will be evaluated on the depth of their work experience, academic background, and management/leadership skills. In some cases the GMAT may be recommended as a way to strengthen an application file.

4. What if I don't have a business degree?

The curriculum for Queen's Accelerated MBA (AMBA) for Business Graduates has been designed to be complementary to the content of an undergraduate degree in business. Applicants will be considered who have studied most of these key courses; Accounting, Business Policy/Strategy, Macro and Micro Economics, Finance, Information Technology, Management, Human Resources/Organizational Behaviour, Marketing, and Statistics.
We encourage you to consider the Queen's Executive MBA and/or our Cornell-Queen’s program if your undergraduate was in another discipline.
