USC Marshall added integrated MBA+MS dual-degree pathways and a product management specialization, expanding options for its 176-member MBA Class of 2027.
The dual degrees let MBA students pair the core program with specialized master’s study in fields such as business analytics and finance, aimed at demand for leaders with both strategic and technical skills.
The new product management offering is structured as a graduate certificate and was built after stakeholder research with companies including Amazon, Microsoft, Disney and DoorDash.
Marshall said the certificate targets fast-growing product roles across technology, finance, healthcare, media and traditional industries, with coursework in product strategy, customer discovery, roadmaps, cross-functional leadership and an applied capstone.
The additions come as Marshall promotes experiential, career-focused training and a broad business ecosystem that enrolled 2,753 graduate business students in 2025-26.
