It depends on the school, but typically an MBA is not considered a degree for people going into academia, or at least not as an instructor... as an administrator, it makes more sense. If you're looking to become a college professor, you'll usually be looking for a PhD or DA degree of some kind. To teach in a business school, you'll probably be looking for a degree from a well-known research college that is AACSB accredited, and you'll be looking an MS or PhD/DA in your chosen business specialization.

That said, some schools do employ MBA holders as instructors. For example, the instructor for my capstone course at TESU didn't have a doctorate degree, just an MBA. Schools that are more vocationally-focused are more likely to consider an MBA holder for a teaching position (typically an adjunct position), but in such cases their business career experience is often more experience than their degree.

So the answer is no... it won't allow you to teach at any 4-year public or private college, but it may allow you to teach at some of them. It depends on the school and its specific requirements.
I second this. I have seen a few business school instructors who solely had an MBA but they are few and far between...unless you look at smaller ACBSP schools. Personally, since I too want to move into academia, I decided an MBA would give me broad business knowledge since I did not have an undergraduate business degree and now I am going into what I want to specialize in with a MS in Finance. The MBA is a great degree but if you want to teach at the college level you definitely want a specialized degree versus a general degree.
