The typical IBEAR class is comprised of 55 participants from 12 to 17 countries. On average, participants are 37 years old and have 12 years of work experience; 80% are in the 32 to 40 age range. Two-thirds of our students are self-sponsored, and are actively seeking jobs. One-third of our students are sponsored by companies and family-owned businesses. The rich diversity of participants can best be understood by reviewing the bios of the IBEAR 44 class, which is currently in session on campus. Students from both classes can be reached via their LinkedIn profiles or by emailing IBEAR MBA Program career advisor Jay Ding at jding@marshall.usc.edu.
