The Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California will roll out a new 21-month online MBA program fall 2015, featuring a curriculum designed specifically for the online learning environment.
The new program will take a close look at emerging business topics of particular relevance to online business, such as internet analytics, social media, virtual teams and entrepreneurial thinking. The cost of tuition is slated at $93,502.
The curriculum was developed specifically for online delivery – this is not just a regurgitation of traditional in-classroom content slapped up online,
Marshall’s faculty will lead the courses, and their weekly synchronous seminars will be viewed by students via webcam. The online MBA will also feature a one-time, one-week, on-campus event.
These synchronous elements will be complemented by online coursework that students can complete in their own time, according to their own schedules.
Live action cases, interactive exercises and virtual teams are all elements of the online program designed to drive interactivity. Students in the new online MBA program also will be able to take classes in online programs at other USC schools and enroll in additional online courses from Marshall MS programs in entrepreneurship, marketing and global supply chain management.
The school will partner with All Campus, a creative agency and enrollment services firm, to help support both the program’s launch and its continuous growth.
