Tom’s Answer

You should look to get either a degree in business or a business related field which interests you (i.e Finance, Accounting, Economics or Marketing). Hope this helps!
Thank you comment icon I am thinking about majoring in business but, I have heard that undergraduate degree in business could hamper the chance for an MBA. A liberal arts degree i.e political science e.t..c where I could get close to 4.0 GPA would not be good option ? ad

Finance, Accounting, Economics or Marketing are all good choices, but in my program many students struggled with Finance and Quantitative Analysis. Whatever major you choose in undergrad you would be wise to brush up on your skills by taking some harder math classes.

Ted’s Answer

Business, Accounting, or Finance majors would be your best bet. However, I know several people coming from diverse backgrounds, the most common of which is engineering. My suggestion is to consider what you would like to do after you complete you MBA and select a major that works best with your future career. Good Luck!
