Can I obtain a Master's degree in "International Business" even if I have an undergraduate degree in Psych?

Question

Hello,

I have an interest in going into the International Business or International Law field, I am currently working on my undegraduate degree in psychology, still trying to decide on what to minor in ( straight business or International Business, why i question the international business is because its core requirement is made basically up of political science courses, where as the business core is just made up of accounting, financial management courses, legal courses, so its somewhat a tough decision, or I could just minor in International Studies and study foreign languages). Anyways to get to the point of my question above, even though I am working on a BA psych degree, is it possible that I can get into a Business school or Law school without a degree in those fields? Thanks (serious answers please)

Answer 1

To get into a grad bus. school will require taking the GMAT and obviously a good GPA in undergrad. Getting the MBA will require that you take a number of prerequisite courses to fulfill the MBA requirements. This is the only disadvantage you have and will not preclude you from getting your MBA.
Same thing holds true with law school, you will need to take the LSAT and have very good GPA from undergrad. Note: you must be prepared for extreme competition and limited choices of schools. The weeding out process is second only to med school, very tough programs,so be prepared.

Answer 2

Absolutely. Both the MBA and the JD are degrees which do not require a particular undergraduate major to enter. In a business school, you may not be able to waive some courses that those who were business majors can waive, but you will probably get a better version of the courses in graduate school anyway.
