When you complete a regional degree- it's complete. So, that meets an admission requirement of having a regionally accredited degree. Like Geezer said, you need a solid GMAT score- and that's if you are going into a competitive program. There are still hundreds of MBAs that don't require anything beyond the completion of your degree and the formality of applying.

Now, one point to consider. Some MBA program may have prerequisites. In that case, they will choose if a CLEP was an acceptable way to fill that requirement. I would find this out while you are still a student so you could work this into your bachelor's degree.

I looked at Penn State before I chose TESC, and Penn does accept CLEP for their own undergrad online/on campus programs. I chose TESC, but thought about them again for my master's. I specifically emailed with them about 2 years ago asking if there were any issues I might have using exams to complete my BA degree that would be a problem when applying for my master's. They told me only that I needed a regionally accredited degree as the entrance requirement. (plus the rest of the requirements)

So, the short answer, is you should always ask where you are looking so you can plan now. It might mean a few classes tossed into the mix, then you have time to make that happen.

Good Luck!!
