My Grad School Thoughts - Masters/PHD

[dfrecore]

@bjcheung77 just wanted to clarify since your OP had a few parenthetical sidenotes: Hodges and Patten will accept any bachelor's degree for their MBA programs, correct? I know one of them requires microeconomics to be done during undergrad but beyond that have found nothing. Can't call them until Monday. I ask because BALS will be much quicker and cheaper for me and my husband than BSBAs will be but it was mentioned on my thread that most MBA programs won't take students who didn't major in BA.

Most MBA programs do NOT require a BSBA!  Almost any of them will take non-business majors, for sure, even the most exclusive of the bunch.  I actually don't know of any MBA programs that will NOT take a non-business bachelor's holder - although many of them will require business experience (even if you do hold a BSBA).

Many will also require that you have some prerequisites before going into the program, and I'm guessing it's because they've found that students who don't have these courses struggle more than average.  ENMU for example, requires core courses - but will let you test out of them for free.  WGU doesn't require anything.  Harvard says this about their MBA program: "There is no particular previous course of study required to apply; you must, however, demonstrate the ability to master analytical and quantitative concepts."
