Welcome to the inaugural Dean’s Report from the USC Marshall School of Business. As the MBA class of 2020, undergraduate and graduate students settle into classes, we are taking a look back at the last academic year’s achievements. Speaking of the new MBA class, we could not be more proud that the Class of 2020 is the first MBA class of any top school to reach and exceed gender parity.
In the spirit of Greatness Shared, we created this report in order to present the growth, teaching and research advancements made at Marshall during the last academic year and share it with you now as we all look to the months ahead.
Of course, more happens at any school than just one report can capture or one statistic can measure. With that in mind, I encourage you to click on the content below and spend some time on the Marshall website for additional detail.
Thank you for your interest in USC Marshall and – Fight On!
