At what age am American student gets his/her BA/BS from university?

I ask ’cause I wanna get a MBA in the USA. But I’m italian, and I’m graduating (BA) at 25, because the University system is much different. So, providing I will work two years and a bit, I will start my MBA at 28 and graduate at 30. Won’t I be too old then, compared to American students who reach the same point at 26-27? Will I still be marketable?

For those that go directly from High School to College, the general age of a BS/BA is 22. If the person goes directly to Graduate school, that can take 2-3 years (or longer) depending on the program.

However, many people don’t go directly to grad school to get their Masters (MS / MA / MBA, etc) until later. Many schools taylor their program to students who already have a career and are working full time. I just got my Masters at the age of 33. There were people in my class in their 40s and 50s. There were people at graduation who were older than that; some getting their BA / BS. I see no reason why you would be any less marketable with your degreee at whatever age you complete it.

It depends on the subject they are doing. I know that at my uni the Geography department offers some students the chance to study for a year in America. They are offering Canada as well next year. Those doing American Studies also have the same opportunity. I suppose that this is common in many unis.
