Is it necessary to have work experience

Hi,
My friend has an online bachelors degree in business from his home country.Now he is moving to Canada for good.He wants to take admission in an MBA programme there.He has some pre bachelors work experience but no post bachelors experience.I ve heard tht Canadian universities need at least 1-2 yrs post bachelors experience for admission in MBA.Any one having knowledge abt it ,plz share.Thanks.

 

If your friend is a non-traditional applicant, meaning he amassed a good work history with increasing responsiblity before returning to school for his undergrad degree, he may not need to wait to be admitted to business school. It would probably be worth a phone call to the admissions offices of the schools he is interested in. A few people in my MBA class at Fuqua, including myself, were less than a year removed from undergrad before starting their MBA program.

Best of luck to your friend!
