We have moved all of our programs to a virtual environment.
While we wish we could host you on campus, we are currently following Los Angeles County Covid-19 guidelines.
In order to protect our community and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, USC strongly advises against visiting our campuses. All admission offices are closed to visitors and we are not currently offering any in-person tours or activities.
In place of in-person tours and information sessions, we have created a variety of virtual events for you to get the information you need before deciding to apply. Whether you are a first-year or transfer applicant, we have plenty of information sessions, student live-chats, faculty roundtables, and more for you to learn about The USC Viterbi School. Some past events (Live Chats and Faculty Roundtables) have recordings that you can check out on your own time. For future events, make sure you register; these events are popular, and spaces fill up quickly.
