USC Marshall Curriculum

The Marshall Curriculum: Flexibility for the Future
Todays business leaders must possess a global mindset that allows them to effortlessly cross boundaries, whether those borders are international, cultural or disciplinary. The USC Marshall undergraduate curriculum is tailored to this belief. Each student has different interests. Understanding this, USC Marshall gives you the flexibility to create an educational experience that is unique to your needs and crosses international and disciplinary boundaries, while still maintaining the rigorous core business program that is a hallmark of Marshall, ranked 10th in the nation in undergraduate studies by U.S. News & World Report and 11th in the world in faculty research quality by the University of TexasDallas. In addition, USC, a world-class research facility located at the heart of the Pacific Rim, offers myriad opportunities outside the business school. The USC Marshall curriculum is based on the Universitys foundation of breadth with depth, which emphasizes the development of a global mindset, with skills and knowledge in a primary area of expertise while interacting with people and ideas from outside that primary area. At USC Marshall, you can participate in international experiential learning opportunities, choose an area of in-depth business study, and pursue study in an area outside of business. To give you the flexibility needed to succeed in the classroom and in the business world, the USC Marshall curriculum offers the following features: 32 free electives which can be used throughout the university and are sufficient to allow you to pursue minor or a double major 12 upper-level business units which can be taken across all business departments to allow you to dive deeper into an area or areas of interest A new 2-unit data-modeling class to provide dataanalysis training that is essential in todays global business world Extensive travel and international experiential learning opportunities beginning the freshman year You Make the Call This is your education. The USC Marshall curriculum allows you to pursue your interests through minors, double majors, and personalization. A USC Marshall student has the ability to take half of all undergraduate units outside of Marshall an opportunity to take advantage of the cutting-edge research, world-renowned faculty and innovative programs that set USC apart. The global mindset is best fostered through a minor or double major enhancing exposure to an area outside of

business while maintaining the USC Marshall core business fundamentals. And you choose the path of your minor. Do you have a passion for music or art? Do you wish to pursue a career outside of the traditional business world? Do you want to learn a foreign language and culture? There is no wrong way to pick a minor. Your minor is the best match for you. Personalization While breadth in experience is key to the global mindset, so, too, is an in-depth focus on business. You will hone your training through 12 units of upperdivision electives taken within USC Marshall. However, the courses you take and the skills you learn are up to you. If you have your eyes on a career in investment banking, a finance course and a negotiations course may be among your Marshall electives. USC Marshall will guide you through the process, with academic advisors who can help you select a variety of elective-course combinations suited to your particular career goals. The USC Marshall upper-division elective curriculum allows students to design an in-depth curriculum that cuts across departments and personalizes the educational experience. Crossing Boundaries and Borders USC offers students world-class opportunities with a smallcollege feel, providing an overall educational experience that no institution can match. USC Marshall is a leader in experiential learning and was the first business school to offer an international experience as part of its freshman curriculum. But the opportunities do not stop there. We encourage our students to experience the world as much as possible during their time at USC Marshall. USC Marshall also offers undergraduates a semester international-exchange opportunity and summer internships overseas.

The business core curriculum is designed to provide a broad understanding of the fundamental areas of business and to lay the foundation for upperdivision USC Marshall electives.

Leventhal School of Accounting

The USC Leventhal School of Accounting is ranked among the top five undergraduate accounting programs in the United States and was one of the first academic institutions to recognize the need for major changes in accounting education. As the field of accounting advances, so too must its professionals. Working with leaders in both public and private accounting, we have created a program of study that seeks to explore the future structures and directions of the accounting disciplines. Relevant concepts and techniques from other academic disciplines are integrated into all accounting programs. In particular, we focus on the development of communication and interpersonal skills. Throughout your studies, you will be introduced to theories, practices and techniques essential to external and internal organizational communication, interpersonal communication, and skillful presentation of oral and written reports. By combining a broad foundation with a deep concentration in one field of study, the accounting degree provides valuable skills students need to meet the demands of the workplace.

Double Majors & Minors

In addition to the Joint Program opportunities (explained later), USC offers more than 150 majors and more than 120 minors that can be combined with Business Administration to create a unique program tailored to students personal interests and professional aspirations. Minors and double majors can be added simply because a student is interested in learning more about a particular subject or area. Students do not need to have specific career goals in mind when choosing a minor or double major. With the USC Marshall curriculum structured to allow you to take a minor offered at USC, we encourage you to explore the double major and minor options so that you experience as much of what USC has to offer as possible. Many USC Marshall students have a double major. Some of the most common are: Accounting Economics Psychology Political Science Biological Sciences (B.A.) East Asian Languages and Cultures International Relations Music Industry Neuroscience Philosophy Public Policy, Management & Planning A substantial number of USC Marshall students have a minor. Some of the most common are: Cinematic Arts Psychology Economics International Relations Music Industry Spanish Communication & the Entertainment Industry Real Estate Development Communications Design East Asian Languages and Cultures Natural Science
Examples of Double Majors and Minors for Business and Accounting Students: Minor or double major in Psychology: A student interested in marketing needs to understand what attracts customers to certain products, ad campaigns or marketing strategies. A background in psychology will help this student understand how to influence consumers decisions. Minor in Natural Sciences: An undergraduate degree in business can help students interested in opening their own medical practice or eventually working in hospital administration. Students interested in attending medical school after graduation can satisfy all of the science requirements for admission consideration to medical school by completing the Natural Sciences minor. Minor in a foreign language: With the emergence of the global marketplace, students interested in working overseas or pursuing a career with a company that conducts business internationally will benefit from studying another language. Double major in Computer Science: Students who want to work in information technology can pursue this double major to learn about information systems as well as management issues that will arise as technology continues to play a greater role in business processes. Minor or double major in International Relations: Students interested in pursuing a career in international business, a government position overseas or a job at an advisory level within the United States will benefit from studying international relations. Minor in Professional and Managerial Communication: This minor helps students hone their communication skills an advantage in any business venture, especially in leadership positions.

The Business/International Relations Joint Program: From a Students Perspective

Why did you choose to enroll in the Business/IR joint program? A knowledge of the international landscape is critical especially in todays globalized world. I also enjoy a wide array of academic subjects, and taking international relations courses is a nice complement to my business curriculum. What do you like most about the joint program? The faculty. In both of USC Marshalls joint programs (BCA and BAIR), youll get a chance to interact with some of USCs top professors. Theres a reason USC supports 12 undergraduate schools each offers unique opportunities and top-notch teaching. How have you benefited from the program? The connections between business and international relations have become obvious through my studies in the program. I feel better equipped to approach questions about international expansion and business issues in specific countries. In addition, I see tangible ways business can effect change on an international scale. What opportunities have you been introduced to by being a part of this joint program? I talked with my professor at length about careers combining both areas of study. He gave me contact information for two of his former students who now work for Google and PricewaterhouseCoopers and have used their Business/IR background to further their careers.

Global Leadership Program (GLP)

Todays global economy requires tomorrows business leaders to understand both domestic and international business practices. USC, with more than 90 years experience in educating future business leaders, created the Global Leadership Program (GLP) for that specific purpose. Available to only the top tier of Business Administration students, this program goes far beyond textbook lectures. USC Marshalls experiential approach to teaching enables students to learn directly from CEOs, presidents and top executives in a range of international industries.

Guest speakers also offer personal advice about courses of study, internships and jobs. Whenever possible, the speakers are USC alumni who have achieved the position of chief executive officer, chairman, president or partner in their respective firms. The Global Leadership Program establishes a foundation for critical thinking and broader perspectives and sets a standard of excellence for students.

The International Experience I would not have traded my Shanghai experience for anything! I have learned about Chinese culture firsthand and now, I am happy to say, I can eat with chopsticks! One of the highlights was the Shanghai General Motors factory, where we saw a car made from the beginning, when it was just a shell, to the very end as the doors were put in. Shanghai was such a great experience and I cant wait for more during my time at USC Marshall! Weve done so many cool things and Shanghai is amazing! I love it; I definitely have to come back soon!

Marshall Learning about International Commerce (LINC)

USC Marshall Learning about International Commerce (LINC) Program USC Marshall is dedicated to providing enriching experiences that expose students to the practical and theoretical sides of business. We pioneered the required international study trip for MBA students. We also offer an international experience for first-year undergraduates. Marshall Learning about International Commerce (LINC) is designed to expose freshman business students to business practices outside the United States. The program features a two-unit course in International Business and a 10-day trip overseas to meet with executives and political leaders. To be considered for the LINC program, you must apply through the USC Marshall Student Services Office. Admission is limited to 3560 students per location, and applications are due in October, shortly after classes begin. In the Spring semester students take a two-unit course designed to expose them to international business practices. As part of the research component of the course, the students spend 10 days overseas, either during Spring Break or after the semester ends. During the trip, students meet with local business and political leaders to learn more about international trade and commerce. Students also meet with their counterparts from a local university and visit prominent cultural venues. Past LINC trip destinations include Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Santiago and Singapore. Comparable international destinations are offered each year. Visit the USC Marshall Student Blog website to read what participating students think about LINC: marshall.usc.edu/undergrad/buad/international/blogs Highlights of 2011 LINC Hong Kong Trip CEO Ronnie Chan, Hang Lung Group/Hang Lung Properties Chinese University of Hong Kong Invest Hong Kong Vocational Training Center Cyber Port Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Limited Lee & Man Handbag Manufacturing Limited It was a great first experience out of the country for me. A week was just the right amount of time for me to spend in Hong Kong, too. Our trip included a tour of a Hang Lung real-estate complex where the average apartment was $20,000 a month! The Chairman of the company is Marshall alumnus and USC Trustee Ronnie Chan. Seeing Mr. Chans entrepreneurship was an inspiration and visiting his company was also proof of the strong Trojan family at USC. I had so much fun on this trip and met so many wonderful new friends that I am excited to say I might go on an ExCEL trip next year! Christina Denning, 2010 Hong Kong Trip

Our trip had a perfect balance between company visits and tourist activities. We were able to meet with many professional speakers and enjoyed leisure activities. On our last company visit, we listened to an insightful presentation given by PricewaterhouseCoopers, learning new information about health care, which many of us had very limited knowledge of. The presentation encouraged several questions that showed everyones awareness. Our last dinner together made me cherish the time we all spent together even more. I can honestly say that this was the best trip Ive taken. The 10 days in Sydney also proved the LINC program to be an invaluable opportunity that we would not find anywhere else. This was an experience I would not give up for anything. Singapore is a truly cosmopolitan city-state where almost anything can be found. We visited international companies such as Burson-Marsteller, as well as regional and local companies. There really are business opportunities throughout the world, and a theme repeated throughout our company visits was global talent is moving around now more than ever, making experience in another nation critical. In the end, I feel like global experience and the friendships one makes will really define ones future.

Experiential Learning Center (ELC) ELC is a learner-centered management training facility that enables students to simulate real-world business situations and put into practice the theories and concepts presented in the classroom. The practical experiences students gain in ELC help them to be fully engaged in the learning process and to acquire the skills necessary for successful consensus building and decision making in a leadership role. In a typical session, a class divides into groups of five or six students. Each group is videotaped as participants spend the first hour attempting to reach consensus on a business problem. Then the class convenes to watch the videos and discuss the way each group made decisions including the participants emotional reactions and conversational styles. By analyzing which individual and group approaches were most effective, students become more aware of their performance level and better able to refine their communication style for greater effectiveness. USC Marshall Advising The Office of Undergraduate Advising assists USC Marshall students in achieving their academic goals. Each student is assigned to a professional academic advisor. This full-time staff member can help you develop your academic program, clarify degree requirements
and monitor your progress toward graduation. Your academic advisor will help you choose electives, a minor or a double major; develop your educational goals; and tailor your academic experience to fulfill your scholastic aspirations. Faculty and peer mentors also offer guidance and support. Faculty mentors share career-related knowledge and experience, provide insight into graduate school and professional opportunities, and offer detailed information about course content and curriculum. Advising and information sessions, luncheons with faculty and other social and networking events all help you make connections and form relationships that will endure throughout your academic career and beyond.

Society and Business Lab (SBL) The Society and Business Lab (SBL) is the first proactive lab setting that integrates the best of business and social thinking to address world problems. SBL applies new models for social involvement to the corporate world. SBL trains the next generation of responsible business leaders while providing a base for related academic research. SBL will incorporate a bridging program, the first of its kind at a university business school, which will create new models enabling corporations to use their non-cash resources for the benefit of communities around the world. SBL offers coursework in social responsibility, social enterprise and ethics; coordinates USC Marshall student and faculty nonprofit consulting efforts; and supports faculty research. Thematic Option Program Thematic Option is the Universitys general education honors program. Each year, fewer than 200 freshmen from all USC majors participate in this interdisciplinary core curriculum. T.O. as its commonly called offers small classes with some of the Universitys best undergraduate teachers and a handpicked group of writing instructors. T.O. has been cited by several college guides as one of the best undergraduate honors programs in the country, and student evaluations generally echo that assessment. To be invited to the program, admitted students must have a high school GPA of about 4.0 and a combined SAT I score of at least 2100. The Thematic Option curriculum is organized according to themes rather than by discipline. Students take four Core courses, two writing courses and two additional Theme courses selected from a range of USC
departments. T.O. includes both small writing classes and individual writing tutorials, in which students refine their writing skills while discussing issues raised in the core curriculum. The program is structured so that the number of units required for students who choose T.O. is no more than for students who complete regular general education requirements. T.O. students and faculty come together for a wide range of evening events, including films, dinners and guest speakers. The intellectual community fostered by working on the same coursework and attending the same evening events helps freshmen meet others who share their interests and passion for learning. Thematic Option Curriculum The T.O. honors curriculum consists of four interdisciplinary Core classes that deal with distinct themes. The Core classes are augmented with linked writing classes, individual writing tutorials and an annual conference to encourage undergraduate research. Core 101 Core 102 Core 103 Core 104 Symbols & Conceptual Systems Quality of Life: Culture & Values Process of Change in Science Change & the Future
Each year, the Thematic Option program hosts a twoday undergraduate Research Conference, a public forum in which students present their own academic work in panels chaired by USC faculty.

Beyond the Classroom

Business Practices Around the World As a USC Marshall student, you will have many opportunities to broaden your understanding of international cultures, foreign markets and business practices around the world. Beyond classroom learning, USC Marshall offers students many unique cultural and educational opportunities abroad. USC also has the largest number of international students of any university in the United States, with undergraduates from more than 120 countries. Global Summer Internship Program One of the most difficult challenges for a business-degree program is striking the right balance between practical training and theoretical, classroom learning. Companies actively search for students who are at the top of their class, but who also have real-world experience in their chosen field. The challenge facing students who intend to pursue a career in the international arena is even more problematic, because opportunities for hands-on international experiences are rare. Typically, international-studies programs offer students only a glimpse of life in another country. To address these issues, USC Marshall has created several exciting international summer program to provide students with theoretical as well as practical experiences. The program consists of an eight-week internship in London, Madrid, Dublin or Sydney Please check the website for specific requirements, such as the Spanish language requirement for the program in Madrid: marshall.usc.edu/undergraduate/international Marshall Indonesia Summer Internship Program The goal of Marshall Indonesia Summer Internship Program (MISIP) is to provide selected sophomores, juniors and seniors with an in-depth international experience with Indonesian firms and foundations which are led by prominent USC Marshall alumni and friends in Jakarta.

USC Scholar Programs

Renaissance Scholars High-achieving undergraduates who pursue a major and minor (or two majors) in widely separated fields of study and maintain specific GPAs are honored as USC Renaissance Scholars. USC offers more than 150 undergraduate majors and 120 minors that encompass the arts and humanities, the social and natural sciences, and the professions. By intensively studying two vastly different academic areas, students are often able to harness an extraordinary intellectual energy that leads to new ways of thinking and breakthrough discoveries. Discovery Scholars Each year hundreds of undergraduate students at USC conduct original research in the humanities, the physical and life sciences, the social sciences and the professions. Some USC students also create outstanding original works of art, architectural designs and musical compositions, or demonstrate a high level of artistry in theater or music performance. To recognize students who excel in the classroom and also produce exceptional scholarship or artistic works, the University established the USC Discovery Scholars program. All USC undergraduates are encouraged to pursue the Discovery Scholar honor, which is offered within every major concentration at the University. Global Scholars The Global Scholars program recognizes undergraduates who have excelled in their studies both at home and abroad. Every year, up to 10 Global Scholars receive a $10,000 prize to be applied toward graduate study. Students must have an overall USC GPA of 3.5 or higher to be considered for this distinction and must have participated in an international program administered by USC or an outside institution. Applicants must have spent a minimum of 10 weeks abroad in one or more academic, work-experience or service-learning programs as part of their undergraduate experience. For international students, the overseas experience must be outside their home country, preferably in a different region of the world. Global Scholars are expected to complete a capstone paper, project or research paper in which they reflect on their international experience. This project, for which each USC school has different criteria, is intended to validate the depth and quality of the students time abroad. Each year, the Global Scholars present their capstone projects at the campus-wide Undergraduate Symposium.

Community Involvement
USC Student Service Opportunities More than 60 percent of USC students volunteer in the Universitys community outreach programs, providing educational, social and health services that strengthen surrounding neighborhoods and offer rewarding personal experiences. Joint Educational Project (JEP) Founded in 1972, the Joint Educational Project (JEP) is one of the oldest and largest service-learning programs in the country, offering you the unique opportunity to combine academic coursework with outreach in the neighborhood surrounding the campus. Each year, approximately 2,000 students receive academic credit for their participation in JEP. In addition, 400 students serve as non-credit volunteers, sharing their time and special talents. JEP is also home to the Trojan Health Volunteers, a program designed to serve pre-med students and health educators, and USC ReadersPlus, an America Reads*America Counts work-study affiliate. For more information: http://college.usc.edu/jointeducational-project Alternative Spring Break (ASB) In March 1991, students and staff of USC created Alternative Spring Break (ASB) with the idea that participation in ASB activities would significantly change student lives as well as those of community residents. ASB has evolved into an intensive five-to-six-day community service-learning program designed to introduce students to diverse communities and the impact of key social issues in multiple locations. Each service project includes an introduction to the social, cultural and historical context of the specific community students will experience throughout the week. Opportunities for discussion and reflection help students gain new perspectives on social problems. Recent Volunteer Center trips and themes include: Orcas Island and Death Valley National Park (environmental issues) Salinas, California (hunger and homelessness) Bluff, Utah (Navajo culture in Navajo Nation) Isla Mujeres, Mexico (island culture and the effects of tourism) Antigua, Guatemala (Guatemalan culture and development) ASB trips are offered to student participants for a nominal fee that includes transportation, housing and meals for the week. For more information, please contact the Volunteer Center: volctr@usc.edu Volunteer Center The Volunteer Center is a primarily student-run program within the Division of Student Affairs that offers opportunities for students, alumni, faculty and staff to get involved with the community. Each year, the Volunteer Center organizes numerous service projects, identifies volunteer opportunities and maintains an extensive database of over 200 nonprofits and other agencies that offer volunteer opportunities. Community Action Short-Term Team (CAST) The Community Action Short-Term Team (CAST) offers the rewards of community service as well as the flexibility needed for a college lifestyle. Members of CAST agree to receive biweekly e-mails that highlight upcoming one-day or short-term community service events. After registering, students can view projects on our website and communicate directly with CAST: cast@usc.edu Friends and Neighbors Service Day The USC Volunteer Centers Friends and Neighbors Service Day program is one of our most popular.

The Financial Times reported that the USC Marshall School is ranked No. 9 among the worlds top 10 international business programs. The rankings are based on alumni recommendations. Leadership Excellence magazine ranked USC Marshall No. 5 in leadership development and ranked three USC Marshall professors in its Top 60 thought leaders (Warren Bennis, No. 2; Morgan McCall, No. 35; Edward Lawler, No. 59). Anniversaries, Achievements and Honors: In the highly competitive world of faculty recruitment, the USC Marshall School of Business attracted 12 new professors with impressive track records, wideranging expertise and a passion for teaching for the 2010-11 academic year. The new faculty members include Lori Yue, Assistant Professor of Management and Organization, whose research on banking selfgovernance was a 2009 INFORMS Organization Science Dissertation Proposal Competition finalist and who has been published in the American Journal of Sociology, Academy of Management Annals, and Research in the Sociology of Organizations. Professor Yue also serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Business Venturing.

The Marshall Case Team won at Nanyang Technological Universitys Business School in Singapore, while a team of undergraduates hosted and won the International Real Estate Case Competition. Also, a team of USC Marshall undergraduates faced off with MBAs and finished second only to Wharton at the CFA Challenge in 37 Las Vegas. USC Marshall hosted the 11th annual Marshall International Case Competition, known to be the worlds largest academic contest for undergraduate business students, which drew teams from 30 top-ranked universities, 19 of them from outside the United States.

Marshall News & Events

Community Engagement: USC Marshall is a community leader with many studentled programs that give back to the community. One example, Los Angeles Community Impact (LACI), an undergraduate student-led consulting group that places teams of students in the community to assist local nonprofits and small businesses with their challenges, has worked with 76 clients and completed 87 semesterlong projects in which students logged more than 17,000 hours of community service since its founding in fall 2006. For the past four years, undergraduates have joined together through MOVE to organize Marshall Community Service Day, which connects USC Marshall students, faculty and staff with volunteer sites around Los Angeles for a day of public service. In March 2011, 250 USC Marshall students, faculty, staff and alumni served at a variety of nonprofit organizations, including Union Rescue Mission, Heal the Bay, and area schools. They also planted trees at a neighborhood park. More than 60 percent of USC Marshall freshmen participated in a global business experience. In spring and summer 2010, several programs were offered to Marshall students, including GLP, LINC and ExCEL. Students spent time in Budapest, Sydney, Panama, Hong Kong, Chile, Singapore and China. The USC Marshall Global Business Brigades chapter has traveled to Panama six times since 2009 to assist local farmers and business owners. Students are immersed in communities that need business savvy and they empower members by presenting sustainable business models. For eight days, students live in a rural community and spend time understanding each business, facilitating training sessions and learning about the local culture. As a part of the Global Business Brigades program as a non-profit organization, the students also act as investors by providing the communities with over $2,000 in investment funds per brigade. The students carefully allocate the money in an effort to ensure that it is invested in the long-term success of the community. In the spring 2011 semester, students will also partcipate in an inaugural brigade to Ghana, Africa. USC Marshall is home to the Southern California Business Film Festival, a student-run festival established in 2007 and sponsored by USCs Marshall School of Business, Center for Investment Studies and School of Cinematic Arts. The festival includes a competition of student films focused on the topics of business and finance and offers student filmmakers an audience for their work and a chance to connect with executives in entertainment and business.

Next Steps
Submitting Advanced Placement (AP) Exam Scores If you take AP Exams in the spring, be sure to list USC as one of your college choices, so that your scores will be sent to the University Admissions Office. For all previous AP Exams, you need to contact the College Board to have your scores sent directly to the University Admissions Office. (The USC CEEB code is 4852.) AP Exams Students receive four USC units for most AP exams passed with a minimum score of 4. A maximum of 32 units can be awarded for AP exams. Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exams listed below will receive General Education or USC Marshall prerequisite subject credit as follows: GE Category I: Cultures & Civilizations I AP Art History or AP European History GE Category III: Scientific Principles AP Biology, AP Chemistry or AP Physics B or C (Mechanics or Electricity/Magnetism) Business Administration Requirements AP Calculus AB or BC (MATH 118) International Baccalaureate (IB) Exams USC grants 20 units of credit to students who earn the International Baccalaureate Diploma with a score of 30 or higher, or 6 semester units of credit for each score of 5, 6 or 7 on the IB Higher Level exams (maximum of four exams) whichever credit total is higher. The following IB exams fulfill USC subject requirements, in addition to earning 6 units: GE Category I: Cultures & Civilizations I IB History with focus on Europe GE Category III: Scientific Principles IB Biology, IB Chemistry or IB Physics Business Administration Requirements IB Mathematics (MATH 118) ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION Admitted freshmen must submit the Enrollment Commitment Deposit by May 1 to reserve their place in the Fall class.
