What is the cost of your program? What do I need to have completed prior to enrollment / transfer?
Terry,
The main difference between the USC transfer process and other schools, such as UCs, is that we do not have hard and fast requirements. You can learn more about our transfer admission recommendations by visiting the Viterbi Transfer Website.
USC is committed to helping students finance their undergraduate education. Need-based financial assistance, merit scholarships and affordable financing programs can put a USC education within the reach of students. You can learn more about the financial aid process and cost of attendance by visiting the USC Financial Aid Website.
I hope this helps. Be sure to let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
Christine
