The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) is an international non-profit organization of business schools that provides products and services to academic institutions and prospective graduate management education students. The organization owns the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), a standardized assessment that is widely used by graduate business administration programs (e.g. MBA, Master of Accountancy, Master of Finance, etc.) to measure quantitative, verbal, analytical and integrated reasoning skills in applicants. GMAC also provides survey research and market analysis aimed at helping graduate management admissions professionals make informed decisions, and serves as an information source for journalists and members of the public interested in information about management education and the role it plays in the global economy. GMAC is based in Reston, Virginia—a business center in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. In 2007, the organization opened an office in London, its first international location. GMAC also has fully functioning offices based in Hong Kong and Gurgaon, India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= GMAC Contact us and Locations )〕 The Graduate Management Admission Council has 212 member schools from 22 countries, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Great Britain, India and the United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= GMAC History )〕 In 2007, the organization embarked on an effort to increase its membership outside North America.
