Question

Do you need a bba to get a mba?

Answer 1

NO, you do not need a BBA to apply for an MBA program.

In fact, many graduate business schools would prefer that you have a background in another field.

For example, many engineering students get an MBA after a few years of working the their technical areas, in order to qualify for management positions.

Also, because MBA programs require strong analytical skills and an economics knowledge base, they are keen to attract students with very strong backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, and economics.

In fact, after you have earned a bachelors degree in any field, and have worked in the real world, and are willing to fill in the pre-requisite courses you lack, you can apply for an MBA.

A good grad program in business is made even better by having a class with a diverse set of academic backgrounds and life experiences.    

Answer 2

No. Most MBA programs prefer students with other than a business undergraduate degree. Find the program best for you in the official MBA Guide, a free service.
