Bridge Hall was built in 1928 from a bequest of Dr. Norman and Mrs. Mae Manford Bridge. It was designed by notable Los Angeles architects John and Donald Parkinson, and was the first campus facility of the business school - then known as the College of Commerce and Business Administration.

Consistently ranked among the nation’s premier schools, the USC Marshall School of Business offers impressive international and experiential opportunities backed by path-breaking research, close industry engagement, and the uniquely powerful Trojan Network. USC Marshall draws on the region’s cultural diversity, entrepreneurial spirit and economic dynamism to produce leaders for the unlimited opportunities and unprecedented responsibilities of business today.
USC Marshall integrates its foundational core curriculum with a range of dynamic, experiential learning opportunities, giving students the ability to practice and apply what they learn to real-world situations. That curriculum spans a range of disciplines and specializations including Business Analytics, Communication, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Finance, Leadership and Innovation, Marketing, Real Estate Finance, and Risk Management.
The Leventhal School of Accounting, one of the nation’s top ranked accounting schools and housed within Marshall, educates the next generation of leaders in that field. The Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies is an exceptional resource for all students interested in developing a more sophisticated entrepreneurial mindset. Three joint-degree programs with Cinematic Arts, Computer Science, and International Relations further elevate an approach that prepares students for the real world, right now.
Hands-on learning opportunities are of paramount importance and are embedded throughout the educational experience. The Experiential Learning Center and the USC Marshall Student Investment Program are just two examples of many that offer students invaluable experiential opportunities.
Combining a world-class faculty, international student body and strategic location at the gateway to the Pacific Rim, USC Marshall is a pioneer in global business education. International experience is a required component of all residential MBA degree programs. Undergraduates have access to numerous overseas programs including study abroad and international internships in addition to week-long global learning experiences and the one-of-a-kind World Bachelor in Business.
With cross-disciplinary excellence spanning the performing arts to the data sciences, USC and Marshall provide students with the power to combine multi-faceted fields of study and to build the skills that today’s transforming economy demands. Many Marshall undergraduates choose complimentary minors, while graduate students have the option to earn dual degrees or certificates of specialization. Whether through one of five MBA offerings or 11 specialized master’s programs, Marshall offers flexibility for graduate students looking to propel their careers.
Marshall’s resourcefulness and resiliency continue to set us apart. The school prepares leaders who are visionary and adaptable; ready for today’s jobs and future careers not yet imagined and that the Marshall community will help shape. Recognizing its outsized role to play in the evolution of business toward a more sustainable, equitable and engaged future, USC Marshall is powering that change through groundbreaking ideas translated to real-world outcomes.
