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.

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!
