Where business schools and future leaders meet

GMAC is a global nonprofit association, bringing together the world's leading business schools and future business leaders with the tools, research, and insights that make every connection count.

Built by business schools. Grown into something bigger.

In 1953, nine business schools joined forces around a common belief: business education is stronger when institutions work together. Their collaboration laid the foundation for what would become GMAC.

Today, GMAC is a global nonprofit association of 225+ member schools representing more than 7,000 graduate business programs worldwide. What began as a collaborative effort to strengthen admissions has evolved into a global organization that connects schools and future business leaders through assessments, events, research, and insights.

More than seven decades later, we continue to serve the business education community with the same spirit that inspired our founding: collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to opportunity.
