We often get different versions of the question:
“Why Should I Go to USC?”
“What makes USC stand apart from other schools?”
“What’s so special about USC?”
… and a million other versions.
So – I asked our Viterbi Student Ambassadors to answer in their own words. Why did they choose USC? Each of them has written a blog topic about it, and I know I have enjoyed reading about how they made the choice.
Check out their blogs over at Viterbi Voices to learn about each of them.
Here are a few highlights:
Yakshita
Yakshita loved being able to get her “Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in 5 years”
Nitasha
Nitasha enjoyed “taking a disparate selection of classes to decide (her) major and minor.”
Scott
Kristen
Lisa
But, don’t take our word for it – go over to Viterbi Voices and read them all. Want to know more, email any of them at viterbi.student(AT)usc(DOT)edu.
I’m debating USC and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for engineering and I know SLO offers very hands on experience within the classroom setting, not just with clubs. My question is does USC offer a lot of hands on work for engineering or is it mostly theory and lecture study.
You can count on a lot of hands-on experience in addition to theoretical work throughout your four years. Our industry advisory board and recruiters help shape our curriculum for what they want – and that is a strong background in both. All theory, or all hands-on could leave you missing something crucial…. all theory, no experience with real-world applications… all hands-on, no experience in designing something different, new, and/or better.
