If one were to go on to MBA, is the business major REALLY necessary? im NOT talking about going for a job right after UG, in that case…bus major is understandable.

what i dont get is i know so many kids (namely berkeley…im from CA) major in business administration and they want to get into MBA program. Is that a good road to take? I have heard that they teach you everything bottom up in MBA programs already so it’s not really worth majoring in business (minoring or taking some basics like finance,marketing,mngment/operations is ok though).

Also, anyone know if job experience is necessary to get into a relatively good MBA program right after UG?

and if anyone knows, im just curious, whats the thing about applying to Haas after 2 yrs of UG at cal…does that mean the busadm major student can take UD classes at the B-school? ive heard ppl transfering to Haas after 2 yrs at a CC…so what does that mean?
