Lehigh University MBA Program Now Accepting New Version of GRE Scores

Lehigh MBA applicants may choose to submit test scores from either the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) or the newly revised GRE (Graduate Record Examination) (GRE scores from before the latest version August 1, 2011 will not be accepted). Lehigh joins many other ranked business schools in the world in their decision to accept GRE test scores due to newly-revised test format that is more closely aligned with the skills needed in today's demanding MBA programs.

This change makes the application process attainable to candidates from a wide array of academic backgrounds as they consider their MBA options. "With more of quantitative focus in the test, we believe now both the GMAT and the GRE meet our expectations in analyzing the strengths of our potential students,” states Andrew Ward, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs. "Strong quantitative skills are a key component of our student’s success in the program."

The Lehigh Part-Time MBA Program is ranked 5th in the Mid-Atlantic Region and 35th in the nation by BusinessWeek. The program offers two delivery methods for students to complete the program: on-campus or through Classroom LIVE. Classroom LIVE conveniently allows students to participate in MBA courses from a distance at their own computer as they are being conducted here on campus and without having to travel to campus.
