Master Your Career with USC Online

The program has allowed me to meet people from all over the U.S. and the world. I really enjoy having the flexibility to learn on a schedule which works best for me while also allowing me to work and balance other aspects of my life. My favorite class thus far has been Introduction to Global Health with Dr. Withers. I enjoyed learning about her career and research along with the many interesting topics within Global Health. I started creating miniatures in 2018 because it was difficult for me to find miniature magnets of Vietnamese food. I am from Hue (a smaller city than Saigon and Hanoi) so it was even harder to find items of food from my hometown. I figured I would save money and would be able to pick up another hobby if I tried creating them myself. I have always loved working with my hands so I was able to pick it up quickly. Creating miniature foods led me to where I am today creating other types of miniatures and dioramas. When I found the UN list of observed International Days, I felt that I could really make a difference.

The MSHRM program prepared me to guide organizational development and change management initiatives which translated into a lot of meaningful and impactful results at my organization. Within months of beginning the program, I accepted a promotion and since moved on into management, where I continue to lead talent development and strategic people initiatives.

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.

Being in the Air Force, I travel a lot and operate often in different time zones. The instructors in this program were very understanding and accommodating to my schedule. Through this program, I am able to apply what I learned to help better my interaction with people of different cultures to accomplish defense and national goals. I would recommend this program to any military member who has a passion in preventative medicine and the motivation to succeed in this challenging program.

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.
