Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections (250 word limit).
My intended field of study at USC is business, with a focus on finance and entrepreneurship. I believe a curriculum in finance and entrepreneurship ample prepares an individual to be successful in any field of business. My interest in business developed at a young age and I haven't stopped questioning, learning, and researching business related topics since. I am eager to attend the Marshall School of Business because of its global mindset, innovative curriculum, and strong alumni network. These characteristics distinguish Marshall from other universities and prepare students for life after USC. I look forward to taking classes such as Advanced Practicum in Investment Management (FBE453a/b) and Venture Management (BAEP 453), as I believe these classes will provide me with invaluable hands-on experience in wealth management and entrepreneurship, while also improving my ability to work with others in a team. In addition, I want to explore my academic interests outside of the classroom by joining student organizations such as Marshall Business Student Government, Marshall Youth Outreach, and Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Association (EVCA). These organizations will enable me to learn about my intended fields of study in a new manner while plugging me into the local USC community. I believe USC will cultivate my passion for business and direct it in a way that will make me a better student, leader, and member of my community.
