The USC Marshall School of Business is the business school of the University of Southern California. Considered one of the premier business schools in the United States, it is the largest of USC's 17 professional schools. The current Dean is James G. Ellis. In 1997 the school was renamed following a US$35 million donation from alumnus Gordon S. Marshall.
History
The Marshall School began as the College of Commerce and Business Administration in 1920. The Graduate School of Business Administration was established in 1960. It is accredited as a business school by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The Entrepreneurship Program, the first of its kind in the United States, was established in 1972 and is internationally recognized. It has now been renamed The Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. The Pacific RIM Education (PRIME) program was implemented in 1997 as the first ever MBA course of its kind to require all first year full-time MBA students to participate in an international experience.
The Leventhal School of Accounting was formed within the school on February 7, 1979. All of its classes are offered at the University Park campus in Los Angeles.

Campus
The school occupies four multi-story buildings on campus: Hoffman Hall, Bridge Hall, the Accounting building, and Popovich Hall, which is the MBA building. In addition, the school recently began construction on Fertitta Hall, the future home of USC Marshall's undergraduate program, with completion slated for Fall 2016.
Popovich Hall
This is the main building of the Marshall School. The $20 million, 55,000 square feet (5,100 m2), building opened in 1999 as one of the most technologically advanced business school buildings in the United States. It was named after alumni J. Kristofer Popovich and Jane Hoffman Popovich, for their $5 million gift. The hall provides state-of-the-art technology and eight case-study rooms fully equipped with audio-video teleconferencing devices, 13 Experiential Learning classrooms capable of transmitting lectures and presentations throughout the building, more than 1,100 data connections outlets throughout the building, a courtyard, and more than 15 miles (24 km) of fiber-optic and cable wiring in its Modern Career Resource Center.
Bridge Hall
Bridge Hall houses all undergraduate offices for the Marshall School of Business, which includes the Office of the Dean, Office of Admissions, and the Department of Finance & Business Economics. It also houses a number of classrooms including the original Experiential Learning classrooms.
Hoffman Hall
The H. Leslie Hoffman Hall of Business Administration, which opened in 1973 and stands eight stories tall, houses the Crocker Business Library and Computer Services. It is named for H. Leslie Hoffman, father of Jane Hoffman Popovich. It was designed by renowned architect I. M. Pei.
Programs
Undergraduate
The Marshall School offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. There are several joint programs that offer studies with International Relations and Cinematic Arts in combination with Business Administration. New students take a business core and have other time to fulfill the USC Core and take elective classes. Until the 2010-2011 academic year, each student chose a concentration to complete with the degree. It also offers an undergraduate Bachelor Science in Accounting degree through the Leventhal School.
The undergraduate program offers a variety of international opportunities. The Global Leadership Program (GLP) comprises a two-semester seminar on business leadership in China and a spring break trip to China. The Learning About International Commerce (LINC) program comprises a one-semester seminar and a trip to another country.
In 2012, Marshall introduced the World Bachelor in Business (WBB) Program, developed in conjunction with The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Bocconi University. WBB is the first undergraduate program of its kind in which students will live and study on three continents and earn degrees from three universities. During four years of study in Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Milan, Italy, WBB students will learn from internationally renowned teachers and scholars in a business curriculum that combines cultural immersion and real-world experiences. The first cohort of 45 WBB students began their education in the fall of 2013.
Graduate
MBA Programs Full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA): Marshall's two-year full-time MBA comprises a straightforward intensive core and a diverse range of electives and concentrations. Fall semester of the first year is devoted to foundation courses as well as courses in functional areas. By the end of the first semester, students will have taken classes in accounting, corporate finance, management communication, marketing, microeconomics, operations, organizational behavior, statistics and strategy. During spring semester, students may select as many as four electives in addition to the Global Context of Business/PRIME class.
The core concludes with the Global Context of Business. Spanning the entire spring semester of the first year MBA experience, the Global Context of Business/PRIME class is a carefully sequenced and integrated learning experience that has three main components: common sessions, country-specific sessions and PRIME International Experience Learning (PRIME, a required research 10-day trip to Pacific Rim countries to visit selected companies, both domestic and multinational, and government institutions).
The second-year of the Full-Time MBA program is intended to be customized to suit students' interests and career goals. The required units can be earned by taking elective coursework, designing an individualized program of study that cuts across several functional areas, completing an independent study project, and/or selecting courses from other schools within the university.
Other Academic Opportunities
ABAC Research Project: APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) is a confederation of 21 Pacific Rim economies that encourages cooperation and promotes free trade among its members. Since 2003, Marshall has been the only business school worldwide whose MBA students have conducted research for ABAC (APEC Business Advisory Council), which studies the current market forces and conditions of the region. After conducting extensive research in APEC countries, the Marshall ABAC team of approximately 12 students presents its findings at the annual ABAC CEO Meeting, which consists of over 60 CEOs assigned by their respective country leaders. Past research teams have investigated topics such as: sustainable energy, temporary worker mobility, non-tariff barriers to trade, and rules of origin regimes.
Graduate Student Investment Fund (SIF) Course: The Seminar for Applied Portfolio Management Student Investment Fund (SIF) Program is a one-year commitment consisting of two three-unit courses. In these classes students learn the theory and practice of investment management through a merging of financial analysis, portfolio management and the actual management of the Student Investment Fund. Each year interested Marshall graduate students apply to be part of the course and 16 students are selected.
Independent Projects: In addition to the Core and elective courses offered at Marshall, second year MBA students in good standing may apply to complete an independent research project. The independent project option allows students to pursue research in specific areas of interest that may not be covered in other course offerings.
Non-Marshall Coursework: Second year MBA students in good standing also have the opportunity to request to take courses at other USC schools and departments. A maximum of nine units of graduate-level electives may be approved to be taken at USC outside the Marshall School of Business for elective credit, providing the student shows sufficient reason why that specific course is relevant to the Marshall MBA program.
Part-time MBA: The part-time MBA for Professionals and Managers (MBA.PM) is a 33-month program, although it can be taken over a five-year period. It consists of 12 months of core classes followed by electives. After the core all students take PM Globe, a semester-long macroeconomics course that includes a one-week overseas trip to a Pacific Rim country (resembling PRIME as detailed above). The core can be taken at either the USC university Park campus in Los Angeles or the USC Orange County Center in Irvine. All elective courses are taught at the main campus. Students attend classes two evenings a week.
Global Executive Education: The Global Executive MBA (GEMBA), an international version of Marshal's EMBA program, began in Shanghai, China in collaboration with Jiao Tong University in 2004. Classes are taught primarily in Shanghai by USC Marshall professors. Like the US-based EMBA program, GEMBA is a 21-month Executive MBA where students maintain their full-time jobs while studying. The GEMBA program meets on 10 occasions from Thursday through Monday in Shanghai every six to eight weeks, as well as meeting for eight to nine days at the USC campus in Los Angeles on two separate occasions. The program also includes one five day study session in an Asian country other than China. This schedule structure allows students from around the Pacific Rim to fly in for classes. Homework and case study analysis is performed by students between sessions.
Executive MBA (EMBA): The EMBA program is designed for senior managers and seasoned professionals who wish to remain fully employed as they pursue their graduate studies. This 21-month program incorporates a successful thematic MBA curriculum that gets to the heart of issues seasoned professionals encounter on a daily basis. The school concentrates learning objectives on the 'interrelatedness' of business functions as opposed to the teaching of individual disciplines as unrelated functional entities. This approach has resulted in a program that consists of 10 'themes,' two domestic off-site sessions, and one international off-site session.
IBEAR (International Business Education and Research) MBA: The IBEAR (International Business Education and Research) MBA is a 12-month, full-time program in international management aimed at mid-career managers.
