The Marshall School of Business (also known as USC Marshall School of Business) is the business school at the University of Southern California. 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 $35m donation from alumnus Gordon S. Marshall.[3]

Background

Marshall School of Business began as the College of Commerce and Business Administration in 1920. The Graduate School of Business Administration was established in 1960.[4] It is the oldest AACSB accredited school of business in Southern California. The Entrepreneur Program, the first of its kind in the United States, was established in 1972 and is internationally recognized. 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.

Campus

Popovich Hall

Facilities: The school occupies four well-equipped multi-storey buildings—Hoffman Hall, Bridge Hall, the Leventhal School of Accounting and Popovich Hall, the MBA building—on the University of Southern California (USC) campus. Popovich contains state-of-the-art technology and eight case-study rooms with audio-video teleconferencing facilities. Students have access to all USC facilities. Most students live off campus and a car is a necessity.[5]

Popovich Hall: The main building of the Marshall School of Business is Popovich Hall. This $20 million, 55,000 square feet (5,100 m2) building (named after alumni J. Kristofer Popovich and Jane Hoffman Popovich ’65, for their $5 million gift) opened in 1999 as the most technologically advanced business school building in the United States. Popovich Hall has eight case study rooms fully equipped with audio-video teleconferencing devices, thirteen Experiential Learning classrooms capable of transmitting lectures and presentations throughout the building, more than 1,100 data connections outlets throughout the building, courtyard and more than 15 miles (24 km) of fiber-optic and cable wiring in its Modern Career Resource Center.

Hoffman Hall: Seven story Hoffman Hall (an eight story I.M. Pei designed building named for Leslie Hoffman, father of Jane Hoffman Popovich that opened in 1973) nearby houses the Crocker Business Library and Computer Services.

Bridge Hall: Bridge Hall houses all undergraduate offices for the Marshall School of Business. It also houses several classrooms as well as the original Experiential Learning classrooms.

Leventhal School of Accounting

Marshall is related to the Leventhal School of Accounting, which was named after Elaine and Kenneth Leventhal after their $25 million gift. Ph.D. degrees in accounting are offered. Accounting classes are offered in a renovated historic building.

MBA Program

  • Marshall’s two-year full-time MBA comprises a straightforward intensive core and two electives delivered in the four-term first year, followed by a wide range of electives and concentrations in the second year. The core concludes with PRIME, a required research trip to Pacific Rim countries to visit selected companies, both domestic and multinational, and government institutions. In the second year students can choose elective subjects from concentrations or design their own. Courses are often shared with MBA/PM and IBEAR students.[6]
  • In 2004, the Executive MBA (EMBA) program was available in Shanghai, China. Additionally, MBA.PM program (part-time) students can take first year classes at the Orange County campus in Irvine. In 2006, Marshall opened a San Diego satellite campus for the EMBA program at the La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, north of San Diego.
