MBA without an undergraduate degree?

Options
Hi. I am just wondering a few things. I have spent a few years working in middle management and would like to progress my career and get into management consultancy. I am looking to start an MBA course. Having spoke with the OU, I understand that I can start the MBA upon completion of a certificate followed by a diploma in management which would take about a year. My question is would it look bad on my CV having no undergraduate degree? Should I take my undergrad then the MBA which would take an extra 3 years or just carry on with what I am doing?

    Hi JuniorFlex, what would you do your undergrad degree in?

    If you don't need to do an undergraduate degree then why do one? They're long and expensive. MBAs are much more about experience than about previous degrees, which is why many courses do not let people on without such experience. If they have told you that you have a chance then I wouldn't bother with the undergraduate degree.
  • Better to go for MBA rather than looking back for undergraduate degree
