Master Your Career with USC Online

Every class I took as a DEN@Viterbi student gave me experiences that I've been able to immediately apply on the job. The professors’ industry and educational experiences enable them to put lessons into digestible terms for working professionals in which they were very thorough, accommodating, and understanding. We were empowered to work together and be aggressive in our learning, but also enabled to balance our ongoing education with our still-developing, full-time careers. The price - time, effort, and money - is worth it in every respect as I try to become a leader worthy of USC.

I chose USC Rossier because of the high quality of faculty and students, its commitment to teacher preparation in urban education, the respect that USC commands for job prospects in Los Angeles, its focus on Common Core and education technology, its convenient online classes, and for the possibility of completing a rigorous master’s program in a comparatively short amount of time.

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 Academy empowered me to dig deeper, ask big questions and to fully embrace blue sky thinking.

I believe that DEN@Viterbi students have the opportunity to get just the same quality of education as an on-campus student, if not more. The DEN@Viterbi program allowed me to jump-start my career and I think taking classes while gaining work experience without a location constraint was the best use of my time.
