No Business/Econ experience and applying for MBA: What to do?

[beatmeoutofme]

<p>Hey all, </p>

<p>So, i'm looking to pursue an MBA but i've not taken any business/econ classes as an undergrad. </p>

<p>Are their any unwritten "required" classes that they look for in reviewing your application? </p>

<p>Also, i've heard that 1-2 years work experience is key for MBA admission. What type of work experience is this? are they referring to something business related or can be it anything? </p>

<p>Thanks for all the info everyone.</p>

<p>That’s what they teach you in your MBA courses. Why would you think you already need to know the subject before you are taught it?</p>

<p>Generally calculus, though some here will dispute that. It was so in my case.</p>

<p>It can be anything. What they want to see is that you’ve selected a career and that a business education would assist you in advancing that career.</p>
