Does one need a bachelor's degree in business for admission into an MBA program?


Question:
what are the basic requirements

Answer:
1) It depends on the program, but the only absolute requirement is an undergraduate degree in any major (and even that can be avoided in certain situations). You don't need an undergraduate business degree, and in fact the two overlap quite a bit.

2) Most likely, you will need work experience. Top MBA programs have an average student with 4-5 years of working experience. Easier programs usually require at least 2-3 years.

3) You need to take the GMAT, a standardized test that is similar to (but ironically, probably simpler than) the SAT.

That's about it for basic requirements.
u gotta be a graduate..as far as i know
No. As to your second question, this isn't Yahoo!A university.
No , it is not necessary because I m pharmacist and I just have finished my MBA .my bachelor was in pharmacy not in business

wish you best of luck
No,in India any 3/4 year degree will do fine.Some colleges require you to have a min. of 50% in you final graduate marksheet,while some do not place any such requirements
No, Any bachelors with a few pre-requisite business type courses will get you into most MBA programs...
You don't have to have an undergraduate degree in business in order to get into MBA programs. I know people that have gone into MBA programs from all kinds of disciplines, including business, psychology and English.
No.
Any four degree usually is acceptable. In fact desireable.
A combination usually rounds out an individual.
For example:
Engineering undergrads + MBA
Psychology undergrads + MBA
Education undergrads + MBA
Accounting undergrads + MBA
Pre-law undergrads + MBA
Pre-Med undergrads + MBA
No. Usually it's even better to have a technical, medical, or law degree.
i really wolud also like to know the answer to this question .
MBA stands of Masters in /of Business Administration.

In most cases a Bachelor's degree is required.

In USA and in UK(London School of Economics), they were admitting any Bachelor degree holder. The program was structured and took 2 years.

The basic requirements had no meaning in USA, their system allows for taking prerequisites, the program may take that much longer, you may not get proper sequence of courses.

Again prerequisites will depend on the specialisation.
No. In fact, many MBA programs prefer you don't have an undergrad degree in business, especially if it wasn't from their school - they want to mold you in their school's philosophy.

Check out Fortune Magazine and Princeton Review for a list of the top B-Schools. Each school has different minimum standards (GPA, resumes, references and GMAT scores).

You should aim for an accredited B-School. While unaccredited may be cheaper and they will tell you that accrediation doesn't matter, to many employers it does matter.
I dont think bachelor's degree is needed if u have good knowledge about it

For an MBA program the main qualification needed is to have a degree of any discipline. either Arts, Commerce or Science.
But the ASpirant should and must possess a will perform and aim to take up challenge.

Bachelor's degree in any discipline.

Yes. In India you need a bachelor's degree to do an MBA. There are a few campuses that provide a composite 5 year program which gives you a BBA and an MBA. In the US however, you can do an MBA without a bachelor's degree, provided you have a professional degree instead (e.g. Chartered Accountant, Management Accountant, Hotel Management, Tourism etc.). Hope that answers your question.
