What qualifications do I need to apply for an MBA?

The Master of Business Administration program is an advanced degree that gives students the chance to work in a variety of industries. The program takes 33 credit hours, which are completed by taking eight different core courses and three additional elective courses. As a result, students can expect to complete the program in about a year and a half. Students are now able to complete their MBA degrees online, so they never have to attend a class and can finish all of their coursework from home. Keep in mind that some specialized MBA programs require students to complete an internship before graduation.

To get a place on most MBAs it is highly competitive and you must have a good honors (undergraduate) degree or your home country's equivalent. You must also have a good English language proficiency, generally of at least 7 in IELTS, or 620 on paper or 105 on the internet in TOEFL (if you are not sure what this means, then check out our guide to English language requirements).

Some Business Schools also like you to have a few years experience in a business environment, though this is not the case for all of them.
