Attending graduate school, completing a master’s degree and maintaining your professional responsibilities is difficult enough. At The College of Business, our goal is to take weight off your shoulders and minimize the roadblocks to getting a graduate education.
That’s why GRE/GMAT scores are not required for admission to the online EMBA program at the University of Nevada, Reno.
As an international student, you must submit an acceptable score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Duolingo.
Minimum score requirements include the following:
TOEFL*
550 (paper) or 79 (internet)
IELTS
6.5 (academic version)
Duolingo
105
The EMBA program requires a significant amount of reading and writing. International candidates are expected to have a strong command of the English language — both written and spoken — to have success in the program.
The TOEFL score requirement is waived for students who have completed degree programs conducted in English in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia or New Zealand.
My choice to participate in the University of Nevada, Reno's EMBA program was unequivocally one of the smartest decisions of my career. The degree emphasizes not just management and leadership abilities, but also ethical and responsible business practices. The ROI of the degree was almost immediate."
