Laura Hartman, MCM Candidate, Class of 2015
Several years after earning my Bachelor’s degree (in Psychology) and entering the workforce, I decided to return to school as a student in the MCM program at USC Annenberg. I now find myself in the rewarding, yet sometimes challenging, position of juggling between classes and my job in graduate recruitment at the USC Viterbi School of...
Samantha Rothschild, MCM Candidate, Class of 2016
When I was first applying to colleges it seemed like I could never get away from the common slogan: “we have great research opportunities!” At a certain point, research felt like it was a given. Of course school X, Y and Z would have amazing research opportunities. It became a vague, overhead term that did not mean much, yet was...

Just after stepping foot into USC’s newest building addition, Wallis Annenberg Hall, it becomes clear that you have crossed over into a completely different type of educational environment.

I knew my first day of class that there were a LOT of youngins in...
Elizabeth Price, MCM Graduate, Class of 2014
I graduated from the MCM program in May 2014. To date, it’s been 9 months and 4 days. I secured a job 3 months after graduation at the world’s largest private translation and language services firm (for privacy reasons, I’m withholding the name here). So far, I have traveled cross-country for work, made tremendous connections with coworkers...
Tina Powell, MCM Candidate, May 2015
It happened when I got my first book published. It happened again when I ran a half marathon … and when I visited Italy. It even happened when I told friends and colleagues that I had signed up to get my Masters of Communication Management at USC Annenberg. It seems that whenever I do something even remotely interesting or exciting, someone is bound...
