LOS ANGELES – The Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at USC’s
Marshall School of Business has been named the nation’s No. 1 graduate program in just-
released 2007 rankings from Entrepreneur magazine and the Princeton Review.
The rankings will appear in Entrepreneur’s November issue, on newsstands Oct.
23. This is the fifth year of the rankings, and involved evaluations of entrepreneurship
programs at some 900 schools.
The magazine’s editors said surveys found that budding entrepreneurs are strongly
interested in programs with “strong alumni networks, an emphasis on feasibility studies
and activities for engaging the local business community,” all areas that play to USC
Marshall’s strengths as a center for entrepreneurial study and research. Schools were
evaluated in such areas as academics and requirements, students and faculty, and outside-
the-classroom support and experiences.
The Greif Center is the nation’s oldest integrated entrepreneurship program.
Fortune magazine recently named Greif Center Director Tom O’Malia one of the nation’s
top 12 entrepreneurship professors.
USC Marshall Dean James G. Ellis has identified entrepreneurship and innovation
as core areas of emphasis for the school, which is headquartered in the heart of the one of
the nation’s most entrepreneurial regions.
Students are required to meet and extensively interview entrepreneurs in the field
they’d like to pursue, and routinely take part in networking opportunities. As with all
USC Marshall graduate students, they are required to have an international experience,
during which they work on business problems facing real companies.
Graduates become part of USC Marshall’s 70,000-strong alumni network, which
comprises about a third of the University of Southern California’s entire Trojan Family.
