RESTON, VA--(Korea Newswire)--Prospective business and management students around the world are able to find updated information on nearly 6,000 programs in the new School Finder on the Official Site of the GMAT® Exam, mba.com.

“Making the decision to go to business school or take a graduate management degree is probably one of the most important investment decisions any student will make,” said GMAC President Sangeet Chowfla. “What prospective students need is reliable information that helps them better understand the relative merits of the schools they are exploring and the best match for their skills and career aspirations. This reduces the risk of making the wrong decision and increases the probability of an experience that is a good fit for the student. With more people worldwide turning to the internet to research any topic, GMAC has developed mba.com and School Finder to provide information and support for prospective business students throughout the process.”
