<p>to those with firsthand knowledge of the school- how is it? I know everything about its ranking and stuff but like how are the classes, class sizes, profs, and that infamous curve? Also job placement? Any info's appreciated!</p>
<p>They modified the curve this year, or maybe even did away with it all together? Someone who actually knows what they're talking about could give you the specifics, but I know they definitely made a change to it.</p>
<p>I'm studying abroad this semester so I know the idea behind the new curve, but not actually how it's being implemented.</p>
<p>The old curve basically said that the class avg had to be 3.0 (B) and 3.3 (B+) for electives</p>
<p>Now, there is still a curve but the class average is set to the GPA average of the students enrolled into a particular class. So if everyone has a 4.0 in your class (unlikely, but for argument's sake) then the class average for final grades in an A (as opposed to being pushed down to a B w/ the previous curve)</p>
<p>What I don't know is:
How do they deal w/ freshmen who have no college GPA?
How do they calc. GPA? Just business courses?, Overall? Including transfer grades?
So if anyone can answer these, please do.</p>
<p>A lot of information on Marshall can be found if you search through the forum but I can't sleep so here goes:
For class sizes, check out USC</a> Schedule of Classes: Select a Term
Profs...it depends but you'll figure out soon where the better one's are, you just won't always have a choice. There's just way too many business kids and the classes are always full. My experience has been a mixed bag, but the better profs are worth it.
Job placement: I really don't feel that the career center is the best resource. Considering how many students go to USC, there should be a lot more job listings. I think most of it comes with networking and attending recruiting events and there are more than enough opportunities to do that.</p>
<p>Feel free to message me with any more specific questions.</p>
