Can there be a break in continuity in education before one seeks admission in MA, MS or MBA in a US University?
Yes. Unlike in India where the general practice is for students to go directly from BA/BSc/BCom to MA / MSc / MCom / MBA or from BE/BTech to ME/MTech/ MBA, a large number of American students take up employment for a year or two immediately after their Undergraduation, and come back to the University only later for their Master’s degree. Many Universities value some practical experience in a related field as a desirable qualification for admission in a graduate course. In fact, a number of Universities now insist on practical experience of at least two years as a prerequisite for admission in their MBA courses. Therefore, the fact that you have been ‘out of touch’ with a classroom after you had passed your BE/BTech/ MA/MSc need not deter you from planning for higher studies in USA.
