Master Your Career with USC Online

After diligently researching distance education options, DEN@Viterbi was the obvious choice — the combination of academic rigor and accessibility was exactly what I wanted, and I was not disappointed. The quality of presentation, applicability of the material, and talented (understatement!) academic staff is truly top notch. DEN@Viterbi is an outstanding choice for seasoned professionals and continuing students alike! Fight on!

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.

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.

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.

USC and the GIST program at the Spatial Sciences Institute have changed my life. The coursework was intellectually stimulating and challenging, and gave me the flexibility and skill set required to pursue a real-world thesis project.
