Through Operation MBA, a program begun in early 2005, GMAC® is talking to active and reserve military personnel (and civilians in military support positions) about the value of a graduate business degree combined with military experience.

The military offers a large and often untapped market for graduate business schools. More than 200,000 officers in the U.S. armed forces rank below colonel or the equivalent—career officers and those leaving their service branches bring a unique perspective to business school curriculum. Although our current data reflects only the market among U.S. military personnel, we believe the skills developed in military service around the world lend themselves to graduate management education.

Our military consultants have developed articles to help you understand and target this exceptional pool of prospective students. In Topics of Interest, you'll find links to materials and support for these candidates on mba.com.
