Integrated Global Curriculum

Our participants become "deep generalists" -- mastering all the technical tools in accounting finance, economics, management, strategy and marketing.

Most MBA programs are organized into separate courses, but we go further to emphasize global management and integration across courses.

Senior leaders must develop solutions that integrate disciplines with a global perspective while considering various countries, cultures and economies. The world is not divided into academic courses or limited to a geographic region.

The curriculum is organized into ten themes, where each theme contains courses that are integrated around realistic situations and decisions facing senior managers.

The USC Marshall School of Business is a private research and academic institution committed to educating tomorrow's global leaders. Ranked as one of the country's top school's for accounting, finance, entrepreneurship and international business studies, Marshall also shares the rich history and vibrant community of the USC academic system.

Curriculum for the new millennium.

The Marshall curriculum is designed to prepare students for the evolving realities of the global marketplace. An expert faculty combines research and real-world experience in programs which emphasize interactive learning. Marshall is the first school to require international travel and study projects as part of every MBA degree. We also offer our research based Centers of Excellence, which connect students to conferences, internships and work opportunities related to their field of interest. Not surprisingly, U.S. News & World Repor t has cited our undergraduate education as one of the best in America, while Business Week ranks the MBA program in the top 30 of all business schools.
