The University of South Los Angeles School of Business and Management is dedicated to preparing its students tomeet the challenges of the Twenty-First Century by providing high quality professional programs that prepare students to think critically, to be adaptable in a changing world, and to assume leadership positions in a diversified and internationally oriented community. A major shift in demographics has brought organizations to the realization that the American society is distinctly multicultural; to be competitive and successful, they must recruit, retain and promote a multi-ethnic staff.

The School places high value on building an organization of quality personnel in an environment that fosters individual career development. The School encourages faculty vision and creativity in the development of programs, exploration of new ideas, and joint participation in activities common to the whole school. The School also expects high ethical standards of conduct among its faculty, staff and students.

The goal of the School of Business and Management is to develop in students the technical and managerial competence necessary for successful performance in any component of the public and /or private sectors.
