According to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), hiring for MBA grads remains strong: 77% of U.S. employers said in 2019 that they planned to bring on additional MBA talent at their organizations.²

It's up to you to decide your timeline and what you can handle to be your most successful in your degree program – and as you advance in your career.

Not at SNHU. While many universities require test scores for admission into their master's and MBA programs, SNHU recognizes that this can often be another barrier between you and your goals.
