MBA - International Business Specialty

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>I'm currently attending a community college and planning on transferring soon but some light was recently shed on me about my intended major.<br>
I was wondering how important it is to have an undergrad business admin degree ,as opposed to economics or maybe something in the arts and humanities category(specifically east asian languages)?
Basically what I'm trying to ask is, which major is more important for applying into an MBA program, specifically in the international business specialty?</p>

<p>Generally speaking, most top MBA programs' student bodies are equally represented by students who majored in Economics, Business, Engineering and the traditional disciplines (like Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Econ, English, History, Math, Physics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology). Just take a look at the most recent class profiles at some of the elite MBA programs:</p>

<p>In short, GPA, GMAT and most of all, demonstrated professional success are far more important than major.</p>
