Los Angeles MBA Programs That Don’t Require Work Experience

It’s true that most traditional full-time MBA programs look for candidates who have demonstrated leadership and success in professional positions. But, just as many MBA programs don’t require the GRE or GMAT exams, many business schools are willing to consider applicants with limited or no prior professional experience. We’ve compiled a list of these schools in the L.A. metro area below.
