<p>is it true that business schools don't require specific undergraduate majors? that means even people who major in music and minor in accounting can also enter business school???</p>
<p>it is true</p>
<p>It might be prudent to take 1 semester of each, if you want an MBA, reguardless of major:</p>
<p>Accounting
Finance
Marketing
Microeconomics
Calculus
Statistics</p>
<p>Having these courses on your transcript would allow you to attend a 1 year MBA at most schools that offer one, reducing yout MBA opportunity cost by half. Most of these courses will satisfy liberal arts electives anyway, so you can integrate them into your current degree.</p>
<p>I would recommend a two year MBA. A 1 year MBA would either have to significantly cut into the amount of content being taught or cut down the recruiting opportunities available to you. For example, I have a hard time believing that someone in a 1 yr program looking to enter strategy consulting would have time to participate in all of the recruiting events, much less practice 100+ case interviews as many counterparts at top 2 yr MBA programs do.</p>
<p>BTW, I also disagree about the undergrad classes. All except perhaps Calculus are completely unnecessary (and even that is debateable). Most people will have forgotten much of that undergrad material by the time they get into graduate business school. Also, most top MBA programs will provide you with material to help prepare you for the more difficult classes.</p>
<p>Well, if you disagree with getting a 1 year MBA, then obviously you would disagree with taking the prerequisites. That doesn’t invalidate my argument that if you want to enter the accelerated MBA, those classes would be great to have. Your argument against a 1 year MBA rests on the premise that everyone in the program wants to work in a top consulting or investment banking firm. I say if you don’t fall into that category, a 1 year MBA is definitely the way to go.</p>
