Comparing Business graduate degrees?
what is the disadvantage of an Masters in International Business and Global affairs to an MBA I do not want to wait for 2-3 years of work experience for an MBA. what do you all think if it is from a good university?

The disadvantage is that it is specialized, making it harder to find a job in that field. And if you don't, you won't be eligible for all of the jobs which are looking for someone with an MBA. It isn't as widely known a degree, and so many employers may not recognize it as readily as they would an MBA. You really don't lose any time by waiting 3-5 years for a good MBA program, because if you go right on, the jobs you get will be entry-level jobs and it will take you another 3-5 years to reach the level you would be looking for with the MBA if you had the work experience beforehand.

Can you get your masters in something not very related to your undergrad major
Can you get your masters in something not very related to your undergrad major?
I will soon have a bachelors in International Relations with a concentration in Latin America and a sub-concentration in intercultural communications. Would it be possible to get my masters in International Business? Or are these things too unrelated?

No, you should be able to do that. You might have to take some undergraduate business courses as pre-requisites, and they might not give you credit towards your masters. Ask the college(s) that you are considering to be sure.

Nope, not unrelated at all. There might be a few business prerequisites that they want you to have that you won't, but you can take those on your own before you apply if you want. Since your undergrad has an International focus, you're already further along than you think. International Relations is VERY relevant to International Business: you already know something about the communication difference, which is more than an Engineering major applying to the program would know. Good luck! :-)

I agree with Emiily. you would have to take pre-req business courses before taking the Graduate courses. In some instances, you have to attain a second-bachelors degree before getting your masters. But that's if you are going into two totally unrelated fields. Like myself, I have a bachelors degree in Business, and now I want a Nursing degree. Well, I have to first get a" second-bachelors" degree in Nursing and then a Masters' degree in Nursing. This is not your case, just giving you an example. If I were you, I would send a few colleges an official transcript and let them evaluate it for you, and tell you exactly what you need. You would be surprised, how different schools require different pre-req, GPA, etc. Of course you would have to pay an application fee to the various schools, but just check around on websites of the schools. Good Luck!

those are pretty closely related, and even if they weren't, you can get a master's in whatever you want, it doesn't have to go with your bachelor's degree. you just have to be able to succeed in the classes you take, which usually means taking a few undergrad classes that relate to your master's before diving into it. you'll be fine. good luck!

Definitely Chinese and definitely Japanese. Very difficult to master, but China and Japan are HUGE power-players in the economy. In my opinion they are much more prominent than Russia or Germany.
2
Depends where you want to do business. I would suggest French (France and a lot of Africa and it is an important language in the EU and Canada.), Portuguese(Brazil will be a a powerful country in the future) , Mandarin(China is powerful already), Spanish( Most Latin America) Most Germans speak perfect English. Russian is not that important

jobs in government usually do not require a business degree - you would be wasting your education - talk to your schools job placement office about career choices

What to do after Bachelors degree in International Business? Whats next? options
What to do after Bachelors degree in International Business? Whats next? options?
I am finishing a Bachelors degree in International Business and want to stay in college. I would like to go to grad school but is 22 years old too young for an MBA or a Master's? Also would I be able to get a Masters in a unrelated field. Thanks

My daughter started in grad school 4 months after her 21st birthday and will be starting her doctorate 4 months after her 23rd birthday next year. So no, it is not too young. And yes you can do an unrelated field but just watch out for the prerequisites if you are thinking of something like Engineering.
2
Getting into a Master of Business Administration program at 22 could be rather difficult. Many MBA programs recommend or even require you to have a certain number of years of full-time work experience. The rule of thumb is two years for full-time programs and much more for executive programs. The two year requirement is usually part of the requirement for acceptance into a Master's in International Business too. Don't get discouraged, the two years work experience is "not set in stone." Check with the grad school where you are presently working on your Bachelors and see what they think. Good luck!

What is the better thing to do: To study in Australia or in the USA?
I was thinking of either doing an MBA (mainly National/Nova Southeastern) or going for a Master of International Business in Australia. My undergrad is in business and is from the States. What do you think the better choice for me would be in terms of future career prospects?

Management Major VS International Business Major
Management Major VS International Business Major?
I go a popular state-chartered university in the south and just got accepted to a Management Major and an International Business Major. I must choose which one i want to study. Under both majors, i'll be minoring in Spanish. What i really want to do is be an entrepreneur and/or work for a large organization under their legal department. I guess what I'm trying to ask is...which major is better if I was going to get a master's in legal business? The only downfall for choosing International Business major is the possibility of NOT getting a master's in something---thus i'm stuck with a degree that requires a lot of travel!?? I need help in weighing the pros/cons to each major!? In the end i want to ultimately do legal business (some sort of law degree)...which one would look good on an application? thanks!

Firstly if you want to do actual "legal business" then a Juris Doctor is what you need and not a Master's in Law. This degree is for those who wish to analize and teach law and not for those who wish to practice law. As for which major, well you run the risk of not getting into a law school with any major you choose, weather it be business, psychology or English. There are no guarantees. However to answer your actual question, I would study management over international business if you want to study corporate law. International business is a relatively poor degree which lacks a lot of substance and you will learn all you need to know about international law during your time in law school. Management is a more solid degree and will give you a better understanding of how a business and the industries actually work.

I am a management major and I love it. You say you want to be an entrepreneur in a legal department? I really don't know what that would entail, but it seems like Management would be a better degree to go with, then you could get your Master's.
