Hi, there is one college that i applied for part time bachelor degree in business admin as i am still working until now and i have not completed any tertiary studies even since i graduated from foundation/pre-u program in a college located in subang area. But as i applied for BBA , they told me that according to my age (30+), WOrking experiences (Admin and sales experiences), and highest qualifications, i am able to go for MBA straight without going into BBA. I wondered if MBA is worth the time and effort? Is it hard to study? Their MBA fees is really cheap like.... RM15K+?
