ANNOUNCING BUCO 633 - Writing a Journal Article for Publication



This coming Fall semester, we will be offering a course designed to support graduate students throughout the University as they go through the process of re-writing papers they've written for publication in academic journals.  To enroll in the class, non-business students just have to follow the directions at the top of the page in the Schedule of Classes (http://web-app.usc.edu/soc/20133/buco), meet a few minimum requirements, and fill out and submit a non-business student application as directed.

We have created a flyer for the course (attached).
