Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the GMAT?

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized assessment test comprised of three sections: analytical writing, quantitative reasoning, and verbal reasoning. The GMAT tests abilities that you have developed over a long period of time; it is not intended to test specific subject areas, nor does it presuppose any prior business coursework. The test takes four and one-half hours, and is computer-adaptive, which means that the difficulty of later questions is based on whether you correctly answered the earlier questions on the exam.

Why does the MBA require the GMAT?

Applicants for the MBA come from diverse educational and employment backgrounds, and we have found that the GMAT provides a means to assess every applicant against a common standard. Requiring the GMAT is just one way to ensure that the USF St Petersburg MBA is comprised of well-qualified students capable of succeeding in our program.
