* GMAT score, age and work experience are the average of SMUs Full-time AND Part-time classes. Without the Part-time class, the GMAT score would be
slightly higher and average age and work experience slightly lower.

**If your undergraduate degree was not taught in English, you will need to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score.

*** The SMU MBA program is less than 5 years old. Programs must be running for more than 5 years to qualify for Financial Times and Economist Rankings.
