The Class Guide

Off the Syllabus: The Class Guide

The fun USC classes actually worth your units.

These are 9 USC classes I’d take again and recommend to a friend. Most are 2-unit electives with light workloads, great professors and the guest speakers whose lessons fill Off the Syllabus.

What’s inside:

• A quick overview table of all 9 classes with course codes, units and how much work each one takes
• My #1 pick: BAEP 470, The Entrepreneurial Mindset, if you only take one
• PE classes for your mind and body: Intro to Mindfulness, Stress Management and Self Defense
• 2-unit BAEP seminars with speakers: Toy Industry, Science of Peak Performance and Sales Mindset
• The 4-unit classes worth it: Founder’s Dilemmas and Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship
• Honest notes on each class: the professor, how much work it really is, how easy the grade is, and an insider tip

It’s a 5-page PDF, reviewed by Lukas Smart, a USC Marshall student studying entrepreneurship.

The workload ratings come from my own experience. Check the Schedule of Classes to see what’s offered each term.
