As an MBA program applicant, you must provide the university with information about your academic background. Generally speaking, you do not need to have an undergraduate degree in business to apply to an MBA program, but you must have a bachelor's degree to qualify for admission. Some universities require you to submit a statement of purpose, which includes your academic and career goals. Pay the application fee and submit the application.
Mail your college transcripts, letters of recommendation and GMAT scores separately. As of 2011, GMAT allows you to select up to five MBA programs to receive score reports when you register for the exam at no additional charge and charges $28 for each additional score report thereafter.
Enroll in MBA coursework. MBA programs require you to complete graduate-level core business courses. Core courses are those courses you must pass to be considered competent in the field. Core courses include finance, accounting, statistics, entrepreneurship and business management.
Complete coursework in your specialty area. You can earn a general MBA or take coursework that allows you to specialize. Such specialty areas include marketing, human resources, public administration, health care administration and international business.
Complete an internship. MBA programs often require students to gain hands-on field experience during the last semester of coursework. MBA interns work closely with business management staff at major private and public sector corporations to gain real-world experience in their area of expertise. You can apply to MBA internships on your own or use your university's career services center to locate and apply for internships.
Complete your final project, if required. Some MBA programs consider the cumulative research projects you complete over the course of your degree program sufficient to award your degree. Others require you to complete an extensive project to be eligible for graduation. Such projects could include researching an in-depth area of the business world or writing a comprehensive business plan for a future entrepreneurial endeavor.
