Programs Can you Do an MBA without majoring in Business and Economics?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing an MBA without a background in business or economics is indeed feasible. Graduate schools prioritize the overall preparedness of applicants rather than their specific undergraduate majors. Success in relevant coursework, such as management, accounting, finance, or economics, can demonstrate business acumen. Additionally, many MBA programs value work experience, which can enhance an application, although direct entry from undergraduate studies is still possible. Taking introductory business classes and excelling in them can strengthen an application for those with a background in fields like physics and computer science.

Can you do an MBA without even doing business and economics in the undergraduate program. I want to do a Major in Physics and Computer Science and a Minor in Math but I won't do business in Business and Economics but I want to get an MBA.

Is this possible?

From what I've heard it is definitely possible. Generally graduate schools don't care about what your "major" was in undergrad; they care about whether or not your classes adequately prepared you for the field in which you are applying and your performance in those classes. I was looking at doing an MBA a couple years ago, but I switched to engineering. I would suggest taking a few entry level classes in management, accounting, finance, and/or economics and getting A's in them. This should be enough to show that you are savvy in business as well as your major field.

Actually, a lot of MBA programs like to see a few years of work experience before you apply. That's not to say that you couldn't get in right out of undergrad, though.
 
Ok thanks for the feedback
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
