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

— International Certification Institute, LLC

All MBAs are not the same. That's why MBA students at WGU must take and pass the Certified MBA Exam (CMBA) as part of their program. The exam provides "certification" of the knowledge and skills learned.

Getting a diploma should be only one of your reasons to pursue an MBA. You also want to graduate with superior business and management skills. And you want to know you can compete in the business world with graduates of other programs.

The Certified MBA™ is your proof. The CMBA Exam, administered independently by ICI, tests your command of core curriculum areas required across all accredited MBA programs. The test will cover the following subject areas:

  • Financial Accounting
  • Management Accounting
  • Quantitative Analysis
  • Microeconomics
  • Macroeconomics
  • Finance
  • Marketing Management
  • Operations Management
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Strategy

Graduates of WGU's MBA programs will be among the select group who can add the CMBA designation after their names!
