Re: Non Traditional MBA Programs

Bankers and financial service professionals are expected to fill up the seats in a typical MBA classroom, but many teachers, chefs, and fashion designers may also try & pursue the degree as well. While they may not fit the mold of a distinctive b-school student, these non-traditional MBA applicants can add fantastic insight and perspectives to classroom discussions.

Advice for Non-Traditional MBA Applicants

Address Weaknesses
Consider Prerequisite Courses
Plan to Attack the GMAT
Show Leadership Experience

Non-Traditional Student Advantages are:

Challenges faced by Non-Traditional Students are:
Non-traditional applicants also face a few unique difficulties while pursuing an MBA.
Pace

In spite of the challenges, colleges encourage interested non-traditional students to go for it.

Does the Program Matter?

When asked whether certain MBA programs are better suited to non-traditional students, response is simple.

“The short answer is no,”. “Most MBA programs are planned with the assumption that they didn’t study business as an undergrad, and they have pre-terms if you need them. All programs welcome and seek out non-traditional students because they want a diverse class.”
