We Can’t Wait To Meet You!

There are a number of events for you to learn more, year-round.  Please note there are distinct programs for high school students (First-Year Admission), and transfer students.  If you are able to visit campus, we would love to see you at one of our info-sessions or tours.  If not, please sign up for a virtual event or one of our admission receptions across the country.

Visit Viterbi Experience & Campus Tours

Our on-campus Visit Viterbi Experience sessions are the best way to get to know more about our programs.  This 90-minute session includes an overview of our academic programs and admission process led by a USC Viterbi admission counselor.  Based on availability, each session includes a brief facility or lab tour. Current students are also part of the session to ask questions and learn more about student life (when classes are in session).  Transfer Students: you are welcome to join our Visit Viterbi Experience!  The portion of the presentation regarding admission is geared toward first-year students, as transfer admission is often complex, nuanced, and requires its own session.  However, we have found that many transfer students benefit from visiting campus and learning about our academic programs.  If you would like to join us for an in-depth, virtual transfer advisement session, please see availability below.

Note: the calendar allows you to register for just a USC Viterbi Info Session. If you are interested in a campus tour to accompany this program, please refer to the campus tour portal page.

ViterbiEXPO @ Discover USC

Sunday, October 29, 2023

You’re invited to join us for the largest event of the year.  The ViterbiEXPO @ Discover USC is everything you would ever want from a day on campus:  Viterbi Admission Keynote Sessions, Student Design Teams, Maker Space Tours, Student Organizations, Micro-Seminars, and more!

Viterbi Admission Keynotes

Join Paul Ledesma, Executive Director of Undergraduate Admission, to discuss our undergraduate programs, our philosophy of pedagogy, the admission process, and more on your next four years as a USC Viterbi Student.  A panel of current students will also discuss their lives and take your questions, live.

Two, repeat sessions will be held as part of the Discover USC Open House.

See Facilities, Meet Faculty, Explore Student Projects, and More!

Meet our current students and hear from our faculty & staff on new initiatives, key research areas, and tour facilities.  Opportunities will be available throughout the EXPO for you to explore and learn more about the academic experience.

Receptions Near You

If you are unable to make it to campus and live near one of the cities below, we’ll be bringing USC and the Viterbi School to you!  Each 2-hour reception is casual and led by the University Office of Admission.  It includes an overview of the university, the admission process, and more on financial aid.  A USC Viterbi admission counselor will also be present to lead a discussion about our programs and more on your future student experience.

Live Events with Current Students

Our current students know what you’re going through.  They have been in your shoes not too long ago… and they want to help!  Join any of the Student Live Events to learn more from our current students directly.  Each event is open to everyone and will be focused on getting a better feel for our programs and USC overall.  Learn about their college search process, their lives at USC now, and whether this is a place you would also like to call “home.”

Virtual Info Session for First-Year Admission

We understand that making it to campus for one of our in-person sessions is not possible for everyone.  On select weekdays and  Saturdays, we provide the same information via a personal, interactive Zoom meeting.

Similar to our in-person events, the meeting is led by one of our Viterbi Admission counselors to cover our academic programs, the admission process and more on student life.  When classes are in session, each meeting is accompanied by two of our current students to share their experiences and answer your questions.

This is not your typical webinar – this is our chance to get to know you!

Transfer Admission: Info Sessions & Advisement

Navigating the transfer process can be challenging without support.  Our Info Sessions & Advisement virtual webinars are designed to get your questions answered.  What classes should I take to be eligible for admission?  How can I be a competitive transfer applicant?  How do I navigate the articulation agreements?

We do not want you to “just take GE’s” before you transfer.  We want you to be ready for your engineering or computer science curriculum at USC and be making progress toward you USC degree.  Honestly, it’s more straightforward than you think.

PRO TIP: Review the transfer course plans and understand the articulation history with your current college/university before you attend this session.
