Master Your Career with USC Online

I've worked on a number of business concepts before joining [the Academy]. It always felt like some perspective or concept or key insight was missing. I'm getting it now — how exciting it is to feel like you've got this inside information that really unlocks an idea that allows it to breathe and grow. I get that from working with phenomenal people around me every day.

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 was surprised at how personable the online learning environment was. Prior to the program, I was worried that I would not be able to make important relationships with my peers or professors. However, I feel as though I made life-long relationships ... One of my peers even recommended me for my current teaching position.

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.

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.
