Master Your Career with USC Online

The curriculum has prepared me to tackle some of the startup kinks that I now solve.

I was surprised at how personable the online learning environment was. Prior to the program, I was worried that I would not be able to make important relationships with my peers or professors. However, I feel as though I made life-long relationships ... One of my peers even recommended me for my current teaching position.

The Master of Studies in Law (MSL) at USC Gould quickly increased my law acumen, creating efficiencies in communicating with not only our legal departments but our clients. The Business Law and Financial Compliance certificates provided instant results as one works through loan agreements, contracts, and forbearance agreements. I would suggest that the largest impact the MSL had on me was the ability to recognize legal risk in any transaction or correspondence.

I have learned approaches to design and the overall culture of design thinking that have had a tremendous impact on many aspects of my life ... whatever problems I face both professionally and creatively, I can approach them with dynamism and confidence.

I realized that I needed to update that traditional MBA because the solutions needed in today’s world require a fresh approach with the technical, business, and media experiences I’ve gained.
