Undergraduate and graduate education for business began at USC in 1920 with the establishment of the College of Commerce and Business Administration. In 1922, the school was accredited by the national accrediting body of the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, and has remained accredited since that time.
The Graduate School of Business Administration (GSBA) was established in 1960 and the undergraduate business division was renamed the School of Business.
Curricular programs and research commitments of the school are subject to constant review in an effort to keep abreast of the values, motivations, goals and needs of business enterprise and of students who are destined to become managers of private enterprise in an age of rapid change.
The curricula are increasingly oriented to the integration of knowledge, current issues and practical problem solving. Courses are offered in innovative formats which include integrated programs, simulated environments and field studies.
The school's learning methods are supported in every way possible by faculty and student research, computing centers, management and behavioral laboratories, a learning services center and individual student career counseling.
