    You are Family

    We are home in Southern California

    Los Angeles, the third largest metropolitan economy in the world, is home to the USC Marshall School of Business.

    Since its earliest days, Los Angeles has been a center for innovation and creativity, an outpost on the edge of an ocean that invited dreamers to try and make their dreams a reality.

    Los Angeles is the iconic home of the entertainment industry, as well as the birthplace of the modern aerospace industry, which brought millions of returning GIs into the middle class.

    Los Angeles encompasses 4,000 square miles, stretching from the Pacific Coast eastward to Mt. Baldy (10,000 feet high) to parts of the Mojave Desert. The county contains 88 incorporated cities and many unincorporated communities.

    Trojan family, international focus, and a driven student body are characteristics that come to mind when I think about Marshall. Students are proud to be a part of the community and motivated to create and seize opportunities to grow intellectually and professionally. I am forever changed by the experiences I had while at Marshall and I'm so grateful!

    A Global Gateway
    L.A. is the primary economic gateway to the Pacific Rim. The Port of Los Angeles is the #1 container port by volume in the United States. The Los Angeles Customs District, which includes the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, Port Hueneme and LAX, is the nation’s largest, with more than $400 billion in trade.

    Hot Startup culture
    L.A. is on fire as a nationally important tech hub. Successful apps like Tinder and Snapchat have chosen to headquarter in “Silicon Beach” instead of Silicon Valley, and investors are following the talent. VC firms established in LA include Upfront Ventures, 500 Startups and Greycroft Partners, which raised more than $3 billion in startup funding in 2015. (source: CB Insights)

    Biotech Beach
    San Diego, just down the road from Los Angeles County, is perhaps better known for biotechnology. But Los Angeles is poised to become a contender, with its leading research universities, top clinical and research hospitals, manufacturing base, massive port and venture capital presence. USC is leading the way. Click here to read more.
