揭开本科商科专业的面纱
赴美留学商科热已经不是最近的情形了，但是，很多中国小孩和家长选择，甚至选择决定申请商科相关专业后，仍然对商科这个大家耳熟能详的专业到底是什么样子的，到底该学哪些课程甚感迷惑。为了介绍的更清晰，我找了一个全美商学院排名前20的Marshall School of Business(南加州大学马歇尔商学院)为例，把学校本科商科所学课程以及通识教育的课程展示一下，以增加大家对商科专业的理解。
(红色部分：本科1-2年级，一定有一些课程是属于“通识教育”的。此外，商科的相关专业课或住那也基础课往往比较少。)
Sample Program 本科专业学制举例：
During the first two years students will complete general education requirements, business prerequisite requirements and take several courses from the business core. The following sample program does not represent a required sequence of study; rather, it serves as a guideline. To ensure that a student understands more fully the requirements in courses and course scheduling, incoming freshmen and new transfer students should contact the Marshall School of Business, Office of Academic Advising, Bridge Hall 104, (213) 740-0690, for mandatory advisement before enrolling in classes at USC.
