Several top MSBA programs in the U.S. do accept students with 15 years of education, but it depends on the school. For example, Duke Fuqua’s MSQM (similar to MSBA) clearly mentions they consider 3-year bachelor’s degrees from recognized universities, especially from countries like India. USC Marshall and UT Austin also review such profiles based on academic performance and overall fit.

You may be asked to submit a credential evaluation like WES to confirm your degree equivalency. Schools like Northeastern University and University of Washington (Foster School) mention this on their official admissions pages. This helps the admissions team decide whether your 3-year degree is equal to a U.S. bachelor’s.

Having strong work experience, technical certifications, or a relevant background in data or analytics can strengthen your application. Some schools evaluate the full profile  not just your degree  especially if you show readiness for the program through other achievements.

So yes, many MSBA programs in the U.S. accept 15 years of education, but you’ll need to check the policy on each school’s official site. Some may admit directly, others may request extra documents, and a few might prefer a 4-year degree but you still have solid chances.
