ADMISSION CRITERIA
According to the school, USC considers essays, college GPA, letters of
recommendation, extracurricular activities, work experience, GMAT scores,
leadership, and interviews. USC recommends that applicants be proficient in
mathematics through calculus. Students are notified of a decision
approximately three weeks after receipt of the completed application,
including test scores. The final deadline for applicants is April 1.
Students who are placed on a waitlist decision are notified of a post by
June 30. On a case-by-case basis, students may defer admission for one year.
According to the school, “We are a member of the Consortium for Graduate
Study in Management, offering fellowships for talented minorities.”
COST AND FINANCIAL AID
The estimated cost of attending the Marshall MBA Program for the entire
academic year is $45,000. This includes tuition and fees of $33,000 and
estimated living expenses of $12,000. Please be aware that living expenses
vary greatly among MBA candidates. Some choose to live on or near campus
while many others choose to live in various communities and neighborhoods in
the Los Angeles area.
A number of merit-based fellowships are awarded to students at Marshall.
Fellowships are awarded at the time of admission and before the second year.
These two-year awards vary from partial to full tuition remission, and
recipients (both domestic and international) are notified of their award
with the official letter of admission. Dean’s 2nd Year Scholarships are
awarded to second-year students who did not receive fellowships upon
admission to the program. These awards are based on first-year
accomplishments, including superior academic performance, leadership
initiatives, and contributions to the Marshall and USC community. On the
other hand, Marshall also provides need-based assistance through private
loan programs which are available to both domestic and international
applicants. For international applicants, some does not require a US citizen
to be a co-signer.
