Procedures:

The Marshall Undergraduate Admissions Office is available to assist prospective internal-transfer students with their specific questions concerning the program, application requirements, and the decision process. Admissions officers are not able to forecast admission outcomes, as applications are evaluated within the context of an application pool. Admissions officers will offer information that may be helpful in presenting a competitive application. Applicants are responsible for fully understanding the admission process and required coursework for admission consideration. Applicants are strongly encouraged to schedule admissions appointments well ahead of registration, or other important dates.

Admission Information Sessions:

For questions and additional information regarding admission to the business or accounting major, please attend one of our upcoming information sessions:

• Check back soon for fall 2012 information session dates, times, and locations!

Application Deadlines:

The application deadline for fall 2012 has passed.  The application for spring 2013 will be available in the fall of 2012.

 For application questions, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 213.740.8885

The application provides an optional space for you to include your collegiate extracurricular activities, college honors/awards, and additional information you feel pertinent for consideration. Please note that admission decisions are based primarily on your academic performance at USC and on required coursework. Letters of recommendation are not considered.

Applicants are accepted into the program contingent on available space and the quality of the applicant pool.

Notification Information:

All admission decisions are communicated electronically. For more information, please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office at 213.740.8885. Until notified, students should register for the upcoming term in their current college/program.  Students admitted to the business major will be able to register for Marshall classes after admission notification is received.  After admission to the business major, students will be assigned an academic advisor in the Marshall Office of Undergraduate Advising who can provide academic advisement registration assistance. 

Questions concerning the admission decision should be directed to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. Appointments to discuss the admission decision must be made within ten business days of the notification date. This will help ensure that assistance is offered in a timely manner.

Please note that all admissions decisions are final. An appeal may be considered only in the case of a documented grading error in required/related course work.

Course Requirements:

Completion or current enrollment in the pre-major courses is required for admission consideration.

Other Options:

The Marshall Minor Programs are designed for non-business majors. Marshall offers eleven minor programs. Each minor provides a foundation in business concepts and practice, and a business minor may compliment any USC major. All courses are taught by Business faculty members and students admitted to our minor programs enjoy many of the same co-curricular opportunities afforded those in our major program. Students may speak with their current academic advisor to determine if a business minor can be incorporated in their matriculation plan.
