Which is more useful for getting accepted for MBA? GMAT prep or business courses at community college?
I am interested in getting an MBA, with a concentration in either finance or general business. My undergraduate degree was in computer science, so I was never required to take a business or even economics class to graduate. Now I am faced with a decision. Should I take some business classes (or finance, economics, etc) at a local community college before applying to graduate business school, or should i instead invest that time and effort into a GMAT preparation course?

Business is highering some poets now so go figure. Follow your interests, you'll get better grades. Why not ask the department heads of the schools your interested in. You could even probably phone, at least for an appointment. You might be able to apply directly, depending on their mood.

Community college level coursework after earning your BS will most likely not improve your admissions chances to a good school. However, you can certainly use it to prepare yourself and see if you enjoy the topics. The most important admission factors are your work experience, leadership experience, undergrad GPA and also your GMAT. The only one of those that you can affect in the short term is your GMAT. It's not the only factor, but a great GMAT score will fill your inbox with invitations to apply. Also, you should not view your engineering background as a disadvantage, but accentuate it as an example of your varied skill set.

Most master's degrees take one year. The reason why an MBA takes two years is because everyone needs a year to get up to the level of an undergraduate business major. The better B-Schools want a wide variety of students -- and the majority of them have no academic experience in business. The top B-Schools will be impressed with a high GMAT score -- but not one of them will be impressed with someone taking classes at a community college.

Take Marketing, Business, and Arts Administration classes. Arts Administration is pretty much dealing w/ the Admin. part of the Performing Arts (which could apply to management and even promotion). Otherwise, work on something to do w/ Business and/or Marketing. Then go to college to get your Bachelors. If you want to deal w/ performers, performance buildings, and/or music conservatories, then they are looking for someone with those degrees, plus a strong background/love for music, so if you can take some music courses that would be great (music history, etc.) Good luck!

I would say marketing and business classes - know your way around finance too! Seriously though if you want to be in music promotion or a music manager... School doesn't hurt but the only thing that will get you a job in the music business is experience so get yourself an internship or better yet just got find a local artist to manage and make it up as you go along- there is nothing like experience in the music field to get you a job in the future- it's all who you know so go pick up so work - even if you do it for no money, promoting or managing just to meet people and get experience. I'm not saying education isn't important but having actually worked in music will get you more jobs and prepare you more than any college course. Best of luck, -Rick-

I am currently studying mechanical engineering. If you enjoy planning, you might want to look at getting into management. You can get into management by either studying it alone or doing another program (such as engineering) and then taking a management position.
