Any advise to help me choose between these programs?
Marshall USC or Babson (both are Full time program)
About me:
28 years old
Background in family business, my dad started our group of factories (total of three). I also have started a startup venture, and I am one of the directors of the biggest association of young entrepreneurs in Brazil.
My goal with the MBA is to expand our family business to other countries and reach new markets.
Therefore I am not thinking about job placement after the MBA, I want an MBA that I can learn more and use the knowledge to grow our company. I am also interest in increase my entrepreneurship skills since I also have personal projects that I want to launch. (I think I got this motivation from my dad)
I was thinking about Marshall because of the location (I also have an interest in knowing the entertainment business), and because of the alumni network that seems to be better. But I would like a second opinion from GmatClub.
Thank you!

I would say Babson has the better reputation for entrepreneurship which seems to align well with your career goals. USC however has a much broader alumni network and is probably the more well known MBA program and closer to your family business. I would probably lean USC slightly here

If you are interested in the alumni network then I would suggest USC. That said, go check out the LinkedIn profiles of both universities' 2018 graduating class. I did that during my university picking process and hands down USC has some of the most kickass profiles I've seen. Reach out to the alumni association as well and ask them about students with similar goals as yours. Maybe you'll get a better sense of the culture and of where you want to be.
Personally, I have friends who graduated from Babson (1Y MBA) and they became very entrepreneurial back in my countries. However, they were not quite as impressed with the academics compared to the rigor they faced during undergrad.
Also, if you're going to settle in Cali I think USC is the way to go as well.
