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!

whats a good language to learn for international business?
I'm going to be attending college soon and I'm looking to go into economics.and knowing more than one language is useful and I'm either thinking of learning German or Russian.I'm going to be studying what ever language i Learn for 4 years in college so by that time ill have the language perfected so difficulty of the language doesn't really matter 4 years is plenty of time to master a language. both Germany and Russia are massive economy's and important in the world but I'm not sure what to learn what would be more useful?

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.

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
