How to enter the business world without a business bachelor's degree?

Hi all, 

I'm a senior in college who never really knew exactly what I wanted to do. After my first internship this Summer, I finally decided I want to go into business analytics. However, I'm not majoring in anything close to business and it's too late to enter a business program at my school since I only have a year left. Do I have a chance at an MBA or MS in Business Analytics at a prestigious school to change the path of my career? How prestigious? I have been considering UCLA's MS in Business Analytics or NYU Stern. Thanks!

 

To do an MBA you don't need a business degree. You can be engineer, math major, liberal arts major and still do an MBA. Business analytics is more quantitative than MBA, and having quant-degree (math, engineering, computer science) can help. Just select program and type it in Linkedin to see what people there studied for their undergrad.
