Share this post

It is appalling how much of your future life depends on how well you score on tests like GRE/GMAT. They basically dictate the university you go to, the people you’ll meet, and the jobs you get, which makes you wonder if there even is another way to have it all without ever having to take these tests.

Thankfully there is, and it is just as good. In this blog we will talk about universities in Canada without GRE/GMAT scores as a requirement, the specific programs, ranking, eligibility, and more. Let’s go!

IN THIS BLOG

1. Do Canadian universities require GRE for masters? 2. Universities in Canada without GRE 3. Masters in Canada without GMAT 4. Masters in Management without GMAT 5. Can I do MBA in Canada without GMAT?

Do Canadian universities require GRE for masters?

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is an admission requirement for Masters-level courses in many countries around the world. In Canada, GRE is accepted but it is not mandatory, and there are many universities that do not require GRE scores at all. So yes, you can still pursue MS in Canada without GRE.

Although some competitive universities and programs do require a GRE score however there are many universities in Canada without GRE as a requirement.

Universities in Canada without GRE

Since we have established that you can pursue MS in Canada without GRE, let us get to the next obvious question – Which are these universities in Canada without GRE? And more importantly, are they any good? Also if they don’t require GRE, what do they look for?

Well, we would like to help! So here’s a list telling you just that!

Have you taken the GMAT before?

Masters in Canada without GMAT

Typically GMAT is required for many post-graduate business programs such as MBA, Masters in Management, Masters in Business Analytics, Masters in Finance, and related courses.

However, you can still pursue masters in Canada without GMAT and to save you a day worth of research here is a section where we discuss some of the top business programs in Canada that don’t require you to take the GMAT. Shall we?

Masters in Management in Canada without GMAT

Master in Management (MIM) is a master’s program that provides advanced general management knowledge to business and non-business graduates. Although still costlier than a regular master’s degree, MIM is a cheaper alternative to an MBA degree.

GMAT scores are generally required for MIM programs but in this section we will cover the list of top colleges offering MIM in Canada without GMAT:

MIM is especially popular among recent graduates with a non-business degree and considering that the average salary of a MIM graduate goes as high as $97,000 (Schulich School of Business) you get why students don’t mind taking up extra classes on finance or business only to meet the eligibility of the program.

But since it looks like MBA is not losing its charm anytime soon and is by far the most sought-after master’s program through GMAT let us explore your options for MBA in Canada without GMAT. Here we go!

Can I do MBA in Canada without GMAT?

MBA in Canada generally does require a GMAT score however there are a few universities in Canada that don’t require GMAT. MBA colleges in Canada without GMAT assess applicants’ academic history, work experience, goals, and motivation to pursue an MBA program in the university.

Requirements of the MBA program differ from university to university but overall a minimum GPA of 3.3 in the bachelor’s degree is required. Along with 2-3 years of work experience , 2 LORs from professional and academic references and applicant’s CV is the standard requirement for MBA colleges in Canada without GMAT.

For some Canadian universities GMAT is not a compulsory admission requirement but they can stress on other aspects of your profile for example 5-10 years of experience etc. These MBA programs include Executive MBA at McGill University , Accelerated and Executive MBA at Ivey Business School , Executive MBA at HEC Montreal , Kellogg Executive MBA to name a few.

Program Funding Packages

We provide a financial package that includes tuition plus $30,000 per year for the first five years of the PhD Program.

Average Funding

Scholarships & awards (merit-based funding)

All applicants are encouraged to review the awards listing to identify potential opportunities to fund their graduate education. The database lists merit-based scholarships and awards and allows for filtering by various criteria, such as domestic vs. international or degree level.

Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA)

Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA)

Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .

Graduate Academic Assistantships (GAA)

Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.

Financial aid (need-based funding)

Canadian and US applicants may qualify for governmental loans to finance their studies. Please review eligibility and types of loans .

All students may be able to access private sector or bank loans.

Foreign government scholarships

Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.

Working while studying

The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.

International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.

A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .

Tax credits and RRSP withdrawals

Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.

Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.

Please review Filing taxes in Canada on the student services website for more information.

Cost Estimator

Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

You will learn about business practices, economics, finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, management, and many other important topics within specialized business tracks. For example, you may choose a track in finance or marketing to complete your DBA studies .

With a PhD in Business Administration , students learn about a specific focus within business, choosing a specialized track within business to focus on while they study. They may develop new theories in public administration, economics, entrepreneurship, management, marketing, or other aspect. Most students go on to become professors, researchers, or business analysts.

With the PhD in Business , a dissertation may be required, but there are a growing number of doctorate degrees with no dissertation requirements.

Doctor of Computer Science – DCS

Online Doctor of Computer Science students

A Doctor of Computer Science program teaches students about data analytics, computer networking, programming, enterprise information systems, and information technology topics. Most programs can be customized so that you pick the track that most relates to your field of interest.

Doctor of Education – EdD or PhD

Want to become a thought leader in the field of education?

The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) is an applied doctorate for those who work in the education field. Many graduates work in schools, but others serve in government agencies, nonprofit organizations and more.

A Doctor of Education is an interdisciplinary program that helps graduates learn about applied theories when it comes to teaching different subjects and helping students learn. You may want to specialize in different education topics to take your career to the next level, such as educational leadership , early childhood development, or special education.

If you are currently teaching in a K-12 school, an EdD may broaden your career options. Potential uses of this degree would be teaching at the university level or entering school administration.

Doctor of Healthcare Administration – PhD or DBA

healthcare administration doctoral programs

For those who want to work in a leadership position in a healthcare organization , a doctoral program in healthcare administration or management can be a good choice.

PhD in Human Services

Working in social services can be a rewarding career, especially if you want to be a community leader.

PhD in Public Policy

A Doctor of Ministry or Theology program helps students learn advanced principles of ministry, theology, and leadership within the Church.

Most students are able to study on an independent project that is approved by their school.

Graduates go on to become professors, ministry leaders, and higher officials within the Church.

What are GRE Waivers?

Minimum undergraduate gpa.

Some universities allow GRE exemptions for students who demonstrated academic competency during their undergrad years. These schools may set a minimum GPA that students must have achieved during their earlier education to be considered for this type of academic waiver.

GPA requirements may vary among a school’s many programs. Waivers may be subject to approval on an individual basis.

Previously Earned Graduate Degree

The GRE is intended to demonstrate preparation for higher education. However, if you’ve already earned an advanced degree, the school’s admission department may consider that sufficient proof that you can handle the rigors of their PhD program.

For this waiver, some schools may require not only that you have an advanced degree but also that you achieved a particular GPA.

Professional Experience

Because extended employment in a field may demonstrate competency, some schools consider work experience in their area of focus just as valuable as high scores on the GRE.

If you have several years of relevant work experience, that may earn you a GRE waiver. Some schools specifically include relevant military service in their rules about qualifying for waivers.

Some Programs Have No GRE Requirement

If the program for which you are applying has no GRE requirement, then you won’t need a waiver. The school isn’t looking for test scores, so you won’t need to furnish them.

Just be sure to read all admission requirements closely. Some schools require GRE scores for only a few of their doctoral programs.

GMAT or GRE?

The GMAT, also known as the Graduate Management Admissions Test, is similar to the GRE but it has a more specific focus. The GMAT is an exam designed expressly for those entering business school.

Some business schools do accept GRE scores. However, if you are applying only to business programs, you should opt for the GMAT.

If GRE Scores are Optional, Should I Send Them?

To some faculty, GRE scores carry a lot of weight. Therefore, high marks on this test may elevate you in their eyes. In other words, even if the GRE is optional, furnishing a good score may be beneficial.

On the other hand, low scores may have the opposite effect. When the GRE is optional, rather than required, it may be best to keep your low marks under wraps so that your other merits take center stage.

If you’ve never taken the GRE, is it worth it to try, just so you can submit your results to a GRE-optional program? There’s no cut-and-dry answer to that question, but current program participants may be able to lend insight.

Should I Apply to PhD Without GRE Programs?

Your decision to apply to a PhD program should have nothing to do with whether or not they require the GRE. The main consideration should be the university’s accreditation.

Here are a few points to consider…

GRE is a Poor Predictor of Performance in Graduate School

If a doctoral program doesn’t require GRE scores, it’s an indication that the school understands the limitations of this exam.

The GRE won’t provide clear evidence about whether you will succeed in the classroom, get good grades, make it to graduation or be a leader in your professional field someday.

Accredited Universities Offer No GRE PhD Programs

Not having GRE requirements is not a sign that a program will be weak or substandard. Many respected, accredited programs don’t require that you take this test before you can be admitted.

Instead of using GRE requirements to evaluate a school’s strength, consider whether the program has received accreditation. Also, gather reviews from current or recent students, and get advice from the school’s graduate coordinator.

You Still Have to Meet Other Admissions Standards

All PhD programs are selective about their candidates. So, whether or not they require that you submit GRE scores, they all have admissions requirements that you must meet in order to get into the school.

Other factors considered for acceptance may include:

Your resume
Letters of recommendation from people familiar with your work
Your transcripts from other higher education endeavors.
A statement from you about your goals
Your proficiency in the English language

Your Master’s Degree Might Be Enough

If you’ve already completed a master’s program , that shows that you’re able to perform at the graduate level.

Therefore, your school of choice may not require GRE scores as additional proof, especially if your degree is paired with a master’s thesis, a high GPA or years of professional experience.

GRE Scores: What They Tell Us, What They Don’t

a person in an office looking over a portfolio

GRE scores are not as helpful as you may have been led to believe. Let’s take a look at some recent studies on the reliability of GRE results.

GRE Scores Do Not Predict Classroom Performance

Creativity, interpersonal skills and internal motivation are just a few of the components that contribute to how well you do in the classroom.

However, the GRE measures none of those. It focuses only on your test-taking skills.

So, doing well on the test doesn’t guarantee classroom success.

GRE Scores Lose Impact over Time

Researchers have discovered that your scores on this test may give a school an idea of what kinds of grades you’ll achieve during the first year in their program.

However, your scores do nothing to predict your academic success after that first year.

The GRE Lacks Reliability in Predicting Final Outcomes

The GRE can’t determine whether a first-year doctoral student will end up completing the program.

Some high-scoring students may not possess enough tenacity to stick with school until graduation. On the other hand, some low-scoring students may have been the ones most likely to persevere.

Applying to Graduate School with No GRE Test Scores

There are some things that you should consider before specifically seeking out a no GRE required doctoral program:

While some high-profile schools may admit you without this test, not taking the GRE will automatically close many prestigious schools to you.
Some fields are more likely to require the test than others.
Sometimes, it’s easier to find a no-GRE-required online program than an in-person one.

Consider your motivation for not submitting scores:

Because you’ve already settled on a program that doesn’t require this test? Great!
Because you’re too busy to study? Think hard about whether you have time for a doctoral program.
Because you received a low score? According to an ETS survey, nearly 25 percent of test-takers improve their results second time around.

If one of your primary concerns is the amount of time required , you may be interested in our article discussing accelerated PhD programs online .

What is the GRE, and Who Needs to Take It?

The GRE is a test designed to show that you learned enough during your undergrad years to be ready for the rigors of grad school. The exam includes sections on verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. You may need to take it if you’re applying to graduate programs.

Is the GRE Test Required for Graduate School?

No, not always. There are some graduate schools that don’t require GRE or GMAT scores. Some offer alternative options, and others simply have no GRE (or other entrance exam) requirements. Some schools require that you submit exam scores for only some of their graduate programs.

Is the GRE Required for PhD Programs?

Many doctoral programs require applicants to take the GRE, but not all do. Others allow waivers or base their admissions decisions solely on other criteria. In particular, some of the best-ranked online PhD programs may allow you to enroll even if you’ve never taken the GRE.

What’s the Difference Between GRE vs. GMAT?

While the GRE is used for a variety of different graduate programs, the GMAT is designed specifically for admission to business schools. However, some business schools accept GRE scores as well. Even still, those who have their hearts set on business school would do best to take the GMAT.

Is There Any Reason to Take the GRE for a PhD Program?

If your top school choice requires GRE scores, then you should take the test. Also, if you are planning to apply to quite a few programs, then there’s a good chance that you’ll need to submit test scores with some of those applications.

What is a GRE Waiver?

Some schools require GRE scores for admission to their doctoral programs, but they will make an exception if you meet other qualifications.

These qualifications may include:

High GPA scores during undergraduate studies
Relevant work or military experience
Related master’s degree

Which PhD Programs May Waive the GRE?

Online doctoral programs across a variety of fields may admit students without requiring GRE scores. Commonly, this may include programs related to education, healthcare, human services and technology, and you may have options for PhD or applied doctoral degrees.

Despite the name, a Doctor of Philosophy degree is not limited to the study of philosophy. You can earn a doctor of philosophy degree in many areas, including science, the humanities or education. Your coursework will involve completing a dissertation.

A PhD program is often recommended for students interested in pursuing research or teaching.

Can You Get Into a PhD Program Without GRE Scores?

There are quite a few universities that no longer require the GRE as part of the admissions process. Some don’t require it at all, while others offer GRE waivers if you have a decent GPA, previous graduate-level courses, and similar criteria.

Some PhD Programs Have No GRE Requirement

The Graduate Record Examinations have come to be recognized as synonymous with grad school acceptance. Despite that, there are many schools that will admit you to their doctoral programs even if you’ve never taken this test. In fact, the number of PhD programs that don’t require GRE scores is growing.

In particular, online PhD programs often base their admissions decisions on factors other than exam scores.

Therefore, you may want to start your school-selection process by identifying programs that do not include GRE scores as one of their admissions factors.

Some PhD Programs Offer GRE Waivers

High marks from your last educational endeavor — your master’s degree, for example — may be enough to get you into a PhD program without needing to provide GRE scores.

If you already have work history in your intended field of study, this may also serve as sufficient proof of your competency for the school’s PhD program.

Experience the Asper difference

The PhD program is central to the mission of the Asper School of Business at UM. The program was founded in 1990 and our commitment reflects the increasing need for Canadian-trained management academics The AACSB-accredited program has already fulfilled the expectations of students and faculty and continues to attract highly-qualified individuals who are interested in developing their research and teaching skills.

The PhD program in management is designed to produce graduates who have competitive research and teaching skills and the abilities necessary for placement in teaching positions in Canada and the world.

Expected duration: 4 years

Tuition and fees: Tuition fees are charged for terms one and two and terms four and five. A continuing fee is paid for term three, term six and each subsequent term. (Refer to Graduate tuition and fees .)

Throughout their doctoral studies, students are engaged in research apprenticeships with the faculty. Students are assured of working with faculty members on several projects during their program and are required to spend a specific number of hours per week working for a faculty member during the term and in the summer. In this way, students are assured of receiving hands-on experience with the research process.

Students are expected to publish conference papers or journal articles during their program. Travelling to conferences and presenting research is a great way to meet other researchers in your field and gain exposure for your work.

Because the PhD program is designed for individuals who wish to pursue an academic career, a teaching practicum is required to help students develop teaching skills.

Is the GMAT required for a master’s in finance? 

Pooja Madhav

The GMAT, or the Graduate Management Admission Test, is a computer-based assessment that cumulatively tests four core skills across four separate sections: verbal, mathematical, integrated reasoning and analytics skills. Through these sections, individuals test their ability to analyze and synthesize data, reason quantitatively and draw inferences. Upon taking this assessment, their scores are sent to their chosen schools.

Today, the GMAT is one of the most popular pre-admission tests taken globally, with over 108,851 exams written by prospective business school students in 2023, according to the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC). These figures create the impression that every aspiring student must take the exam to get into their top graduate program. However, is this universally accurate?

John Gibson, an associate director of admissions at Purdue’s Daniels School of Business, draws on his 20-year tenure in higher education to emphasize that successful finance master's program applications need a variety of components to be considered holistic.

Prospective students might see their application as just numbers in a binder. However, Gibson explains that non-numeric factors matter too. Letters of recommendation, work experience, personal statements and statements of purpose speak strongly to an applicant's identity and character, making a strong impression.

Our team thoughtfully weighs and reviews these components, and we strive to have a balance between quantitative and qualitative measures to create a diverse and well-rounded cohort,” clarifies Gibson.

According to GMAC, in the past years, business master’s programs have been more likely to face declines in applications than growth, though more than half of Master of Finance programs experienced application growth in 2023 . This is the second year in which Master of Finance applications increased after the post-pandemic slump affecting many programs in 2021. In addition, Master of Accounting programs were more likely to report growth than decline in 2023.

At the Daniels School of Business, prospective students are required to submit a minimum GMAT score of 500 or higher or an equivalent GRE score, but scores of 600 or more are best. This score helps determine the capabilities of applicants and allows the score to also fill in gaps within their application that may be lacking in other components.

“For our MSF program, we accept both the GMAT and the GRE, both in-home and test center editions, but we use the score as a piece of the holistic overview of the applicant,” says Gibson.

“The average class GMAT score over the past five years has been 630 while the average GRE is 320-322. We typically like to have a total score of 600-650 on the GMAT and 312-318 on the GRE. However, being in at least the 60% percentile on the quantitative part on either test is something to strive for,” reports GMAC.

But it’s not just about this score. The fate of their application also depends on the recommendations, resumes and work experience that they bring to the table, among other non-numerical factors.

Applicants are diverse, with various backgrounds and levels of expertise. The Daniels School recognizes this diversity, and as a result, provides added flexibility in the admissions process by allowing applicants to waive the submission of their scores.

Applicants can qualify for waivers in multiple ways, such as having extensive relevant professional experiences or holding advanced degrees and professional certifications like the CFA. These demonstrate their ability to succeed in the graduate program. The waiver may be available to domestic applicants or U.S. military personnel with a 3.5 GPA from a U.S.-accredited institution or equivalent degrees.

From GMAC: Holding certifications such as CFA Level II, CPA or equivalent, strong grades in quantitative coursework, STEM major and background from a known institution, and demonstrated professional experience are all things the committee will want to see for a waiver.

Upon qualifying for the waiver and submitting an application to the master's office at [email protected] , applicants can access the waiver form and proceed to the next steps. It is critical to keep in mind that only on rare, case-by-case occasions have candidates received a waiver and that all waiver requests are granted at the discretion of the admissions committee.

To learn more about the MSF application requirements visit this checklist .

Remember, your application is more than just numbers — it’s a reflection of your holistic self. Your GMAT and/or GRE score will remain a recommended part of your application, but there will be more components that will weigh in on the final verdict.

At the Daniels School of Business, learning is comprehensive, and prospective MS Finance students take their next leap confidently as they explore various careers in corporate finance, fintech, financial analysis, investment management and more. Within this program, ranked #5 by Eduniversal, students engage in global, team-based environments that strengthen their critical thinking skills.

This 10-month, 36-credit hour residential program also provides students the ability to access and manage the Student Managed Venture Fund (SMVF). Contributing to this one-of-a-kind fund creates avenues for students to collaborate with early-stage investors, interact with firms and co-invest with partners.
