There are absolutely no education requirements for a CEO. Many successful CEO's never went to college, some never graduated high school. CEO's are either recruited because of their reputation and past successes in turning around or growing companies, or they are the founders of the enterprise.
In many cases, an MBA is a negative for someone aspiring to senior management. MBA's are a dime a dozen, what major corporations really want is someone who can deliver performance.... |

CEO's almost always have at least a Bachelors degree in some field. However, there's a great deal of variance depending on the company, ownership and how that CEO came to the business.
Most CEO's that are hired from the Outside of large companies come with a great deal of business experience. Most have Masters degrees in either business, or something related to the business in question, such as a law degree, engineering degree, Architecture, Medical degree, Finance, Communications, journalism, etc.... A MBA is not always required or desired. Some CEO's have professional certifications, such as Certified Purchasing Manager, or other industry certification requiring specialized courses and passing grades. Some need state certifications, such as Professional Engineer, which require extensive testing with a state agency.
All CEO's deal with budgets, insurance, liability, business trends, labor etc... BUT within a industry specific environment. Media is different from law, is different from engineering, is different from construction, is different from medical, is different from restaurants, is different from retail...
Any CEO worth their salt has a good grasp on the specifics of their particular industry.
Choose wisely. |
