In general, yes. Sometimes a program will get sticky about it, but MBA programs are especially used to accepting students who have non-business degrees. A school will usually require you to take a some extra courses as prerequisites, but that's it.
In fact, when my son applied to the local state school's MBA program, they said they would "waive" some of the initial business courses because he was a recent business school grad. Essentially, their "prerequisites" were just considered part of the program.
Now the more competitive the master's program, the less likely a general degree will get you in, but finding some school that will take you can usually be done. That said, the devil's in the details. If you want to get your MS in Physics starting with your French Poetry degree, you might have a bit more of a challenge.
