“The most valuable part of the MNLM program was the integration of lived experience into the classroom. Several of my professors held top managerial roles in the field outside of the program, and used anecdotes from their roles as examples to illustrate specific concepts in class.”

“I had an idea of what I wanted to do in the nonprofit sector, and by the time I graduated from the MNLM program, my idea had shifted completely. The required courses at USC Price, in addition to my electives at Marshall, helped me to realize gaps in my knowledge and presented me with alternative ways to pursue my mission.”
