Do you think getting a MBA from a small States School (Cal State) even mean anything to the employers?

No, it means nothing.  MBA from Universities also means nothing.  It is common sense that they wanted...also street smart.  Know how to make decision under pressure.  MBA only certify that you know the stuff but can you utilize it in the right situation..that takes common sense and experience.

There are certain exceptional cases where some b-schools do allow people without any bachelors degree..\n\nFirst you havent told whether you want to do your MBA in US or India or some other place? Because such a criteria is institute specific.. So you'll need to ask the institutes on a personal basis, telling them your entire work background and all.. \n\nSecondly you'll need to answer the question that if you have your own industry, after an MBA do you want to get placement service or do you want to return to your own firm.. \n\nIf you want placement service you'd better have good answers why you want to just leave your own firm in the sun and look for a job..\n\nHowever, if you want to do the MBA so that the skills can be applied to your engg industry, most MBA schools will be more than happy to receive you..\n\nbottomline, you need to convince those admission dudes how their MBA is gonna help you..\n\nAll the best buddy

If possible, you should figure out what you want to do as a career and pick an appropriate undergraduate major.  After a few years of work experience, then you can get into business school for your MBA.\n\nCareer-wise, going to a big university is better.  Small schools especially in rural areas have few students and is not worth the trip for employers.  Also, large companies have targetted core schools that they recruit from.

MBA are you useless, get the work experience is more valuable

Neither are highly rated MBA programs -- though neither school is a joke, either.  But only the highly rated schools are going to be able to open doors to the really high paying jobs.  If these are your only two choices, you should base your decision on where you want to be when you get out -- because it won't be easy to get a job in a different area when you get out.  Do youwant to live in Houston or the NY/NJ area?

yes it would and besides, having the experience of studying abroad opens your mind a little more. Employer like the little different touch you can bring to the business.

It helps. But in some areas like business, employers would employ some one with a bachelor's degree straight from college at an entry level. To do an MBA well you need to have some business experience to leverage on.

Georgia STate University has an excellent MBA program, it is ranked 8th in the nation, this is impressive because it is ranked up there with private universities and GSU is public.  I am working on my degree at GSU. It's a Mercedes education for the price of a Geo.

No.\n\nI'd say, sometimes Ivy League schools are a waste of money. Sure you get a good name on your diploma but it's how well you learn and what you learned from your college that matters the most. Experience acquired before and during college is important too to employers.

They are a proprietary school, which means they are for profit.  They don't have a very good reputation with employers to be honest, so please investigate thoroughly before enrolling and getting a degree that will be worthless to you in the work world.

US MBA's are not highly regarded outside of the US, whereas from what I can see most foreign MBAs are regarded at least equal to, if not better than US MBAs by American companies.\n\nSo definitely if you wish to work abroad, try to get a foreign MBA.

My advice would be to get your MBA before you join the work force.  I received mine directly after getting my bachelors.  It was very easy, and has already paid for itself.  \n\nPeople who wait and get it while they are working have a difficult time.  I know a lot of people who are doing this, and they are having a tough time with it.  \n\nI'm so thankful to have gotten it out of the way.

Only about 15 b-schools are worth applying to.  Unfortunately, there are probably a few hundred MBA programs in the U.S., and the relative value of, say, a Wharton MBA versus, say, a Bentley or Pace MBA is lost on the average employer.  Hence, a top MBA program isn't a terrific investment anymore, unless one is to work for the top investment banks (one of a very few verticals where I think the MBA still matters).\n\nCyanne (other responder) means well, but the programs she cites are mediocre - they might rank in the top 50 but not in the top 20, and the fall-off from #20 to #21 and lower is precipitous.

I guess for any MBA entry requirements, English it not that important, you need good letter of recommendations, references and experiences.\n\nAll the best.

Check with your government help services you may have a Career Link what we call when we go to find available jobs like the unemployment.  Also if you receive disability, contact them they can help also ask the school where you got your MBA.  Good luck

That is a great question.  The MBA will open up a lot more jobs for you and get you consideration over other candidates.  If you are thinking about an MBA than do it now.  It is hard to go back later.  My estimate is it is worth $30k a year in salary.
