Case Competitions

If you are thinking of hosting a competition or participating in one, you need to go through MBCP.

External Case Competitions

Student organizations who are invited to participate in case competitions, or are planning to host a case competition, must submit the information to the Marshall Business Competition Program (MBCP) via mba.mbcp@marshall.usc.edu or to MBCP's director Sudeep Rajagopal for review.

MBCP will review the case competition information and decide if the case competition will be supported. If supported, MBCP may subsidize competition fees and expenses.

For more information, please visit the MBCP website > Opportunities Initiated by Students.
