Done MBA without a Bachelor's Degree 10 years ago & some employers still demand one
#6
I have heard about getting a MBA without a Bachelors, especially in UK and/or Canada. I even considered this route until I discovered the unique challenges of having a MBA without a Bachelors degree. One of the challenges, obtaining an additional master's degree from a US University, its highly unlikely a US University would grant admission without a prior Bachelors. Another challenge, Financial Aid, its a requirement to have a Bachelors degree even if someone already has a MBA, weird rules, I know. As you have discovered, employers requiring a Bachelors. While the majority of the forum community is recommending not to pursue a Bachelors degree, I am advising the opposite, IF these conditions are met.
1. You can afford to spend, $5K to $7K in tuition and exam costs.
2. You might need financial aid in the future, and/or you plan on obtaining an additional masters degree in the US
3. Your employer is demanding it and changing jobs would place a financial strain in your life.

While most of the time I would recommend a BALS because higher availability of accepting credits, in your case, I am going to recommend a BSBA because you already the business knowledge and experience to breeze pass the courses.
