CMBA Overview

The Certified MBA (CMBA) is the only universal measure of a MBA's command of the core business fundamentals.

The CMBA helps set MBAs apart in a competitive MBA job market.

Demand for admission to U.S. graduate business schools has increased, and the growing number of applicants is entering the most competitive pool in recent years. The competition for MBA-level jobs is more intense than ever.

For MBA employers, the CMBA will improve hiring decisions by confirming a command of the business fundamentals expected of MBA job applicants.

Recent surveys by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) reported that 40 percent of companies responding have smaller full-time campus recruiting staff. In addition, the average number of schools at which respondents recruited dropped in 2002. As recruiting resources decline and corporations continue to operate leaner organizations, recruiters are now being asked to do more with less to evaluate the growing number of MBA job applicants.

As a universal measurement of the core business fundamentals, the CMBA levels the playing field for all MBA graduates by emphasizing an individual's business education and neutralizing the influence of graduate program reputation or rank.

The CMBA inspires confidence that the candidate's skill set and performance potential will provide the greatest return on hiring investment for the company, an important advantage for any organization.

Fact: A record 112,258 MBA degrees were conferred in 1999-2000 in the United States. The CMBA enhances the value and marketability of an MBA.
