The USC Marshall School of Business partners with IPADE Business School

The University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business has deepened its partnership with the IPADE Business School by sharing one of its faculty members with the Mexican leader in business education.

IPADE Business School, ranked #1 in Latin America by the Financial Times, has long been recognized as the preeminent business school in Mexico.

This latest collaboration between two of the top business schools in the Pacific Rim makes USC’s Mexico City office part of a network of international offices and points of contacts throughout Latin America and Asia.

The partnership utilizes USC Marshall’s capability in preparing students for the global economy and its Center for Management Communication’s expertise in the teaching and study of management communication.

Gregory H. Patton, associate professor and center faculty member, was selected to serve as a visiting faculty member at IPADE in its full-time MBA program during the fall of 2008. Patton taught communication, interpersonal and leadership skills. He is the first USC Marshall faculty member to teach at IPADE.

The full-time MBA program at the IPADE Business School at the Universidad Panamericana in Mexico City is ranked No. 1 in Latin America and among the top five programs in international ranking.

IPADE is USC Marshall’s primary partner in Mexico. The two schools currently have a student exchange and have partnered for several years.
