Academic Advising


Marshall academic advisors foster a dynamic partnership with you to actively create and refine your academic goals and plans.

The mission of the Office of Undergraduate Advising is to support the education and development of undergraduate students in USC’s Marshall School of Business by providing a broad array of academic support and co-curricular programs and services. As educators, we seek to foster a dynamic partnership with students as they actively participate with us in creating and refining their academic goals and plans. Advisors strive to be courteous, knowledgeable, and informative as we empower students to develop holistically. Click here to see our academic advising video.

Our professional academic advisors as well as our departmental faculty elective advisors answer your questions and empower you to develop academic and career paths that fit your individual interests.  Your academic advisor can help you:

  • Understand degree requirements
  • Create, clarify, and refine educational goals and plans
  • Explore curricular and co-curricular opportunities
  • Select majors, minors, and study abroad experiences
  • Understand academic policies and procedures
  • Connect with faculty members and university resources
  • Address concerns and challenges both inside and outside that classroom that impact academic success

Your academic advisor understands that your college experience includes more than just your  time in the classroom and will  guide you in making decisions and choices that will  help develop both academically and personally. As your goals and interests become more defined each year, your academic advisor can help you connect with and explore related  opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.  There is a lot to do and learn at USC  Marshall, and your academic advisor will  provide guidance and support as you discover and engage with the many resources offered on  the USC campus.

During your first year, you will see your academic advisor regularly.  (All students who have completed fewer than 24 units at USC are required to receive academic advisement prior to registration.)  You will have the opportunity to meet your academic advisor one-on-one as well as in group meetings.  Group advising sessions provide  you with a chance to get to know your fellow students and hear about topics of interest to everyone, and  one-on-one appointments allow you to develop a more in-depth relationship with your academic advisor so that  you can work together on creating your personalized academic plan.  After the first year, your academic advisor will update your course plan each year and you may schedule appointments at your convenience.

To schedule an appointment with your academic advisor, please call or stop by the Office of Undergraduate Advising.
