OMBA ACADEMIC OVERVIEW

The USC Online MBA at the Marshall School of Business offers students an integrated curriculum with award-winning video content that consists of five cross-disciplinary courses. In each course, students acquire essential knowledge about the corresponding core subject areas—marketing, finance, management, accounting and entrepreneurship — and gain insight into how these disciplines intersect.

OMBA’s courses are developed and taught by a team of  faculty members who engage students in relevant, practical exercises and timely real-world discussions. In today’s increasingly complex industries, our cross-disciplinary curriculum provides a holistic understanding of business operations that is essential for producing leaders ready to succeed in the global marketplace.

Students must complete the following courses to graduate from the program:

GSBA-501 Role of the Manager (3 units)

GSBA505 Fundamentals of Business (10 units)
