MBA before Bachelor's..

[MichaelGates]

Never underestimate the stupidty of those doing the hiring. I once had someone interviewing me who thought my degree from Excelsior College in New York was not from a real college. He then told me about his degree from Regents College in New York. He didn't even know the name of the college he went to had its name changed from Regents College to Excelsior College. I wonder if he knows now that Excelsior College is now Excelsior University?

DOH!  Now there’s someone who’s not paying attention.  My college changed their name recently.  It was posted everywhere, they sent emails to alumni, they sent mail to us, it was in the newsletter.. etc. etc.  I imagine Regents/Excelsior did the same… both times.

Yes, Excelasior sent out  emails. Mostly emails simply trying to make money by having us buy a new diploma, with the new name.

An example I can think of right now that fits this thread is the UC-Boulder Masters on Coursera. No prior transcripts required, just sign up for the pathway and prove you can do the work. Masters with no previous college. It would not be easy to jump straight into that level of schooling, but there are plenty of people who have the ability out there.

University of Colorado - Boulder is a state university so most people won't care because it's a state university. Huge difference between a state university and ENEB. There are still employers who will care and demand a bachelor's degree because they get hung up on the little details.

I agree with most of that. The main point I was making is that there are well established Universities that have pathways to achieving a MBA or Masters without having any previous schooling. It does make it so that you will have to answer questions regarding that situation, but it doesn't invalidate the degree.

As for me, I did just take the ENEB MBA/Masters in Business and Corporate Communication exam because I was curious. I passed with a 70% with 36 years of work experience. I now technically have an MBA without a Bachelors. I do not believe at all that it is equivalent to the traditional MBA from a US based RA college, much closer to the graduate level certificates out there. The company I work for is a worldwide employer and I will discuss it with them as to if I list it in my employment file. They have locations in Spain so that is not out of the realm of possibilities.
