You can directly pursue a Master in Management (MiM) program with your four-year bachelor's degree and no work experience. MiM programs are designed for recent graduates or those with limited professional experience and provide a strong foundation in management skills.

- MiM: Best for early-career candidates; focuses on foundational management concepts; typically 1-2 years; more affordable.
- MBA: Suited for professionals with 3-5 years of work experience; focuses on advanced leadership and strategic skills; usually longer and more expensive.

Choosing a MiM now lets you enter the workforce sooner and build experience early. If you gain significant work experience later, you can consider an MBA to advance further.
