The Upshot
Here's what our online students and alumni say
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.
DEN@Viterbi allowed me to further my education while remaining an active contributor to the work force. Through DEN@Viterbi, I connected with other students to review homework, talk over difficult concepts, and study for exams. The program also provided a video conferencing program which was useful if we wanted to get a group together. My professors regularly checked and responded to emails, and class forums, which meant all my questions were answered. I had a wonderful experience and I’m so glad that I found a program that was able to fit my lifestyle and provided a great education.
I realized that I needed to update that traditional MBA because the solutions needed in today’s world require a fresh approach with the technical, business, and media experiences I’ve gained.
Jenean Glover
Master of Science in Integrated Design, Business and Technology
As a full time working professional participating in the DEN@Viterbi program remotely from Denver, CO I couldn't have hoped for a more convenient experience in a master's degree. The resources available for remote students are incredible at USC. Given my work schedule and other commitments it was often inconvenient or impossible for me to join lectures live. The fact that the lectures are recorded with an A/V operator present allows lectures to use a combination of classroom video, virtual slide sharing, and digital slide annotating or white boarding in a way that the remote student has just as effective of a learning experience as those in the room.

Master of Science in Systems Architecting and Engineering
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.
