gracecream, an MBA is not a prerequisite for a PhD in business.

PhD’s in business generally fulfill the requirements for an MBA during the course of fulfilling their requirements for a PhD.

The required courses for an MS are more narrowly focused around a single area of business such as accounting. An MS is usually intended for BBA’s who specialize in accounting. There may be schools that offer an MS in finance as well but I am not familiar with them.

The required courses for an MBA assume that you do not have any previous business courses so they are more broadly based to include courses in all business disciplines. The courses required for an MBA are similar to the courses required for a BBA except the material is generally covered in half the time.
