Master Your Career with USC Online

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.

Before I started USC’s MSPM program, I was unsure about the connection I would have from learning in a virtual classroom. What emerged was countless hours of project management related discussions that I shared with faculty and peers. I highly commend USC for establishing a platform that cultivates learning and such a tight-knit community.

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.

DEN@Viterbi gave me the opportunity to continue my education with the highest quality while working full-time in the industry. I was challenged and cared for by my professors as any other on-campus student. I had a great experience utilizing DEN@Viterbi with the professional quality of lecture videos and sound.

I love the experience DEN@Viterbi was able to create for me. It made it possible to work full time while pursuing a degree. I was able to gain experience, support my family, pursue my education and successfully start my dream career — all thanks to DEN@Viterbi.
