Business School (MBA) - Undergrad/Grad Background

Graduate School
1

<p>I'm currently an undergraduate senior majoring in Electrical Engineering and I'm curious about getting into a graduate business program.</p>

<p>I'm considering attending business school and getting an MBA after doing a masters in Electrical Engineering. I'm wondering how helpful that would be, I heard that having and engineering and business degrees can get you pretty far. </p>

<p>What kind of background would I need for business school if I'm coming from an engineering background? So far I've taken a microeconomics class for a GE and I'm wondering what else would I need to take for graduate studies in business. I heard schools like UC Berkeley like to take people ranging from all sorts of majors for their business program. </p>

<p>In the end, does it just boil down to work experience? Would demonstrating my knowledge on the GMAT be sufficient enough to get in without an undergraduate background in Econ/Business?</p>

<p>I’m wondering the exact same thing, going to get my MSEE and MBA.</p>

<p>I know for MBA it doesn’t matter what background you come from (they like hard backgrounds though, and EE is definately hard). I’ve also heard they prefer Engineers to Business/Comm majors because of the harder background.</p>

<p>I’ve also heard you should work for 2-5 years before you apply for MBA programs (It drastically increases your chances).</p>
