Master Your Career with USC Online

I was extremely pleased with my DEN@Viterbi experience. The online portal and material delivery methods were seamless. However, the aspect I was most pleased with was the top-notch treatment I received from all of the staff I interacted with at USC. All of the staff members went above and beyond to assist me and ensure I had the optimal experience.

I've always wanted to go to grad school, but it was challenging finding a program that would integrate my passion for technology, experience as a designer, and need for business knowledge to prepare me to be a startup founder ... The Academy was just the perfect fit.

USC Rossier's MEd in Enrollment Management and Policy provides everything I was looking for in a master’s program. It focuses on the many issues facing enrollment management in a flexible format that allows me to continue working in the field. The program blends research and practice so that I am informed in my decision-making and skilled in strategic planning and policy implementation. I look forward each week to seeing my classmates and professors to discuss the opportunities and challenges of enrollment management in various educational settings.

I’ve already had opportunities to apply the coursework to my areas of interest. For example, in the geospatial intelligence tradecraft course, we were given a real-world assignment with the directive to create a disaster mitigation plan for Hurricane Maria. This was a very relevant assignment to the moment in time in which it was assigned, as well as aligning with my own interests, and an opportunity to apply academia to the real world.

The professors and my classmates pushed me to think more strategically and encouraged me to look internally at the employee and teammate I wanted to be. Each week I learned something that I could apply that advanced the practice of HR at my organization — a new process, program, or philosophy that added value right away
