Make leadership your full-time focus.
From camaraderie and connections to career planning and professional development, there are many perks to becoming a USD MBA student. With small class sizes and an intimate cohort format for core classes, you will build lifelong professional and personal relationships with classmates and faculty. Tailor your curriculum by choosing your program length, area of emphasis and international options. Your USD MBA will help you become an agent for change and a respectable, inspiring business leader.
By completing coursework vetted by corporate partners and our comprehensive professional development program, you will acquire the foundational and advanced skills employers look for in MBA-level hires. You will also work on real client projects throughout the MBA program. Conduct a semester-long consulting project for a San Diego company, or an international consulting engagement in which you advise small businesses and organizations in countries as diverse as China, Brazil, Germany, the Dominican Republic and many more.
As you study topics from financial management to strategic marketing, you will also have many opportunities to expand and evolve your skill set. Through workshops, mock interviews, coaching and executive mentors, our MBA career services office provides you with the tools—and essential industry connections—to pursue your goals.
