No, while the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is an accepted standardized test for admission to the University of Texas at Austin's Full-Time MBA program, it is not the only required test. Applicants have the flexibility to submit scores from alternative standardized exams.
Required Standardized Tests for UT Austin MBA Applicants
All Full-Time MBA applicants to the UT Austin McCombs School of Business are required to demonstrate their quantitative and verbal reasoning abilities through one of the following standardized tests:
- GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test)
- GMAT Focus (A newer, streamlined version of the GMAT)
- GRE (Graduate Record Examinations)
- Executive Assessment (EA)
This policy provides applicants with multiple options to submit a score that best reflects their academic preparedness and strengths. The primary goal of requiring a standardized test score is to assess a candidate's readiness for the rigorous MBA curriculum, regardless of which accepted exam they choose.
