The value of a business education focusing on quantitative and scientific methods has long been
recognized. The Management Science specialization of the Master of Business Administration recognizes
the efforts of individuals who choose to focus their MBA studies on quantitative business-related fields
such as statistics, mathematical techniques, analytics, data warehousing, data mining, operations and
supply chain optimization, finance, forecasting, digital marketing and modeling.
A core of essential courses is designed to build the foundation of skills required of all leading executives,
develop collaborative talent, cultivate innovation, build analytical skills, and expand the student's vision
and ethical framework with a global perspective. An individualized program of study allows students to
acquire knowledge and skills in their preferred STEM-related disciplines.
$SSOLFDWLRQ
The Management Science specialization of the MBA is open only to individuals who have been admitted
to the Marshall Full-Time MBA program and have successfully completed the majority of the “core”

their MBA program. The petition must include a brief essay explaining why the student would benefit

degree GPA of at least 3.0 and a cumulative graduate GPA at USC of at least 3.0.
