Why a College Consortium?
Tuesday September 9, 2008
As you consider whether you want to attend a small college or large university, realize that a college consortium can provide the best of both academic environments. Consortia allow colleges and universities to pool their resources and offer their students access to far more educational and social opportunities. For example, within the Claremont Colleges in California, an engineering student at Harvey Mudd College can easily take top-rated humanities courses at neighboring Pomona College.
Many colleges and universities are members of consortia, but you may have to do a little digging around on their websites to see how easy it is to take classes at member institutions and what kind of transportation the schools provide between campuses. The Claremont Colleges are unusual in that the campuses all adjoin each other. More typical is a situation like the Five-College Consortium in the Amherst, Massachusetts area where shuttle buses run frequently between schools.

I am granted a scholarship by Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education to get Ph.D. degree in Production Management.I also have had MBA degree from University of Bridgeport/Ct. USA since Dec.22,1981. I am asking if there is any possibility to get an admission for the degree above without the condition of taking the GMAT because there is no way for taking this test before proceeding the process of being admitted in any accreditted American university.
Your prompt reply will be highly helpfull and appreciated with much much respects.
Hi Sabah,
The schools mentioned in this post don’t have PhD programs in business. As for waving the GMAT requirement, you would need to correspond directly with the admissions folks at the universities to which you wish to apply. Contact information for the admissions offices will be available on the websites of the universities.
Best,
Allen
