Can I apply to a part-time USC Marshall MBA program and the Full-Time MBA program in the same year, or move from one program to another?
Each of USC Marshall’s five MBA programs is entirely separate from the others. You must apply for admission to one program only. To receive your MBA degree, you must complete the program to which you were accepted. Because of differences in the programs’ course work and structure, we do not allow students to move from one program to another at any time.

Do you offer dual-degree programs?
USC Marshall and other USC schools and departments offer several dual-degree programs. To be a dual-degree candidate, you must follow the dual-degree program’s admissions process and be offered admission to both schools/departments. For additional information, consult the USC Catalogue.作者: xiaoshuyiyi 时间: 2010-9-9 17:41
Is it possible to receive a Full-Time MBA from USC Marshall if I have already earned an MBA?
If you have already earned an MBA, USC Marshall recommends the Master’s of Science in Business Administration program. The 26-unit MSBA degree enables you to pursue further study in an area of specialization not thoroughly explored during the course of an MBA.
To be eligible, you must have an MBA degree from an institution accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International). The MSBA degree may be completed on either a full- or part-time basis. Classes applicable to the degree are offered during daytime and evening hours. For more information, visit MSBA Admissions.

How do I apply for USC Marshall fellowships?
All applicants are considered for fellowship opportunities. Fellowships are merit-based and typically range from half- to full-tuition remission. There is no separate application process for these awards. Second-year MBA students who did not receive an award during their first year may apply for a limited number of half-tuition fellowships. This fellowship is based on first-year academic performance and contributions to the Marshall community.

What is PRIME?
PRIME, which stands for Pacific Rim International Management Education, is a requirement for all full-time first-year MBA Marshall students. This innovative course begins with an intensive five-week-long exploration of the social, cultural and political environment of business and management practices in the Pacific Rim.
During the spring term, the PRIME project teams travel abroad for 10 days and make an on-site presentation to a corporate client. Visits to select domestic and multinational companies and government institutions allow students to compare and contrast the region's businesses, industries, markets, trade practices and policies with those of the United States.
