The USC Marshall School of Business is offering a new Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation through its Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. The degree will expand opportunities for students interested in careers in entrepreneurship, corporate venturing and innovation or technology commercialization.
The MSEI is an accelerated and highly experiential program preparing students with the knowledge and skills to create new business ventures in a climate defined by rapid change, increasing competition, shortened product lifecycles and higher market volatility.
Students can complete the program over three terms, beginning coursework in a short session prior to the fall semester and graduating the following May.
“There is a growing demand among students with technical backgrounds for a consolidated, MBA-type degree that has a real focus on young enterprises,” said James G. Ellis, dean of the Marshall School of Business. “With the Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the Greif Center is meeting this need, equipping technically proficient students with critical business skills for long-term career success.”
The Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies is the nation’s oldest integrated entrepreneurship program and has consistently been ranked among the top programs in the United States. Labeled as “one of the best entrepreneurship programs” in the country by U.S. News & World Report, the Greif Center leads the U.S. in entrepreneurship education and research.
The Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation program is now accepting applications for its inaugural class from graduating seniors of four-year baccalaureate programs, as well as from working professionals with bachelor’s or advanced degrees.
