The Upshot
Here's what our online students and alumni say
The flexibility to participate in lectures when I was available, or to watch recorded sessions at a later time, was a phenomenal experience. With the demands of the military and frequent moving, I thought I would never be able to complete a program at USC but DEN@Viterbi far exceeded my expectations and enabled me to complete a master’s degree while on active duty.
I experienced a complete sense of community. The program is built around communicating with your cohort. I interacted with my classmates on a daily basis throughout each week; I continue to do so now after graduation. It made the experience that much more memorable because we created a unified environment and a strong support system.
[The Academy] helped me so much, the different professors that I get to meet and run my idea by, and the support that they've given me, it's been really amazing. They're there for you because they want to see you succeed and that's some advice you'd have to pay a lot of money for if you were just a regular entrepreneur looking for a consultant.

USC Gould's Master of Studies in Law (MSL) degree has been instrumental in strengthening my skills and expertise particularly in the area of employment law. In a management and supervision role, it is essential to be well-informed in the legal aspects of your profession so that you can best serve the needs of your stakeholders. In addition to legal training, my negotiation, analytical, problem solving, strategic thinking, diplomacy and persuasion skillsets were enhanced.
The Enrollment Management and Policy program at USC Rossier has helped me in every facet of my work. Working a full-time job in a different state while being in this program was daunting at first, but the accessibility and support of the faculty and my peers has made it such a fulfilling experience. I have learned so much about the higher education industry's best practices and methods of developing pathways to a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment on a school's campus. I truly appreciate this program for being rigorous, intentional, constantly enlightening, and composed of people who are 110% invested in the experience.
