My aunt had a BBA from Nepal. She ended up having to go through the entire undergraduate program in city college in san francisco, and San Francisco State. Not sure if she fully explored doing credit transfer. I have heard some people have done bridge course, but I do not have 1st person info. Goodluck!

There are several universities in the USA which accepts 3 years degree for Graduate course of study. Do not get panic. Everyone was new over here at one point of time. You will get used to it. One of the schools which I know very well accepts 3 years degree is Mississippi College at Clinton, MS. I myself studied there long time back. Good school, neither cheap nor expensive in terms of tuition fees. Call the International Office of that school and you should be good to start from there.

Seema jee !!! If you are in Dallas then University of Dallas offers MBA for 3 yrs bachelors. First you need to take Pre MBA and then once you complete the pre MBA classes whic is 12 credit hr then you can start MBA. So all together there will be (12+36=48) credit hrs for that. Please call them and get more details. Hope this will help you. http://udallas.edu/index.php Last edited: 10-Mar-16 12:26 PM

One thing you will need to understand is, having a 3-year undergraduate degree is not the end of the world. So, just relax. Now that I have got your attention, let me explain. Like Spartacus and skafle suggested, there are sill universities here that will not discriminate you for taking less credits in Nepal to complete your undergrad. Instead, they will put you into some courses, you may call them MBA pre-requisites. Then you will officially begin your MBA once you earn those credits. If you do the math, the number of credits will be close to what Spartacus just said, but again, this is all at the discretion of the university. On a side note, having your credits evaluated from a service (such as WES) will allow you to transfer your credits to a 4-year university and you can work toward getting your 'American' undergraduate degree. But, I'm guessing if you have the option to enroll into a Masters program, why would you even consider enrolling into an undergraduate program? That being said, work hard to find the colleges or universities in your area that match your interests, field of study, affordability, among other things. Good luck to you. Jay Nepal!!

Thanks guys for your words. I feel like time is slipping away and i havent still decided what to do next. Whether i study for like 3 ,4 years and spend tons of money or get any small job and work my way through. What did you do?

iamseema · Mar 10, 2016 3:24 PM

Seema, I had a three year degree from Nepal too. But i was lucky to be accepted in a Masters program after a semester of undergraduate studies and completed the MS in 3 semesters. Although WES (or similar agencies) will evaluate your degree to be equivalent to 90 credits, most colleges require you to study 50-60 credits more to earn a US Undergraduate degree. if you don't want to spend 2 years in a US university and/or hard earned $, ask someone to admit you in MBS (TU) back in Nepal (they don't require you to be in the class), go home to take the first years exam, pass the exam and get your degree evaluated through WES (WES will evaluate your degree as equivalent to a four year degree from us). With >= 3 GPA and satisfying toefl score, You will be eligible to be accepted as a graduate student in most colleges in US or you may choose to take a year worth of remedial course to be eligible to sit in CPA exam (Since you studied BBS in Nepal). Don't lose your hope, choose a path that is most suitable for you.

@skafle i passed my MBS first year, however i cudnt give 2nd year exam. So r u saying i can evaluate the first year mbs paper by WES along with the bachelors degree?

iamseema · Mar 10, 2016 9:38 PM

yes, you can

hari_nepali · Mar 11, 2016 8:27 AM

Seema Ji, There are several schools in the US which accepts 3 years Bachelor's degree for getting admitted in Master's degree. One of the schools which I know is Mississippi College. You can call its Graduate School and find more details. If you are admitted, which I am sure you will be, you may or may not need to take extra classes to make over your 4th year of Bachelor. I had several friends admitted in that school, who had 3 years bachelor and they were not required to take extra classes to make over the 4th year. The school is good and reputed, accredited so you should be fine. After one semester, you can transfer to your preferred location and school in the same program. Good Luck.

hari_nepali · Mar 11, 2016 3:52 PM

Thankyou hari ji

iamseema · Mar 11, 2016 5:25 PM

Great, if you have passed my MBS first year, Get it evaluated through WES. You are all set.

@instagram You are also the same... do not try to pretend smart like my hatest @ microbiology.... I have also seen your several posts where you have acted the way you have said. What is wrong with you man??? A person, regardless of who it is, asked a question and people responded... so what the heck is your issue? Just shut the f*** your mouth and ignore the post...

microbiology_khaate · Mar 12, 2016 12:22 AM

@instagram You are also the same... do not try to pretend smart like my hatest bastard @microbiology I have also seen your several posts where you have acted the way you have said here... What is wrong with the people like you? A person, regradless of who he/she is, has asked a genuine question and people found it genuine and responded... so what the fu*** hell is your problem? If you do not want to answer, go to the "charpi" AKA toilet, masturbate, and sleep.... Simply stop being a loudmouth.... nosehole... MF...
