We offer distinct programs for high school applicants and transfer students.
In-person and virtual events are available year-round. Explore your options below.
Prospective First-Years
Events designed for high school students preparing to apply as first‑year students.
Prospective Transfers
Special events for students looking to transfer from another college or university.
These programs are open to all eligible individuals. The USC Viterbi School of Engineering operates all of its programs and activities consistent with the University’s Notice of Non-Discrimination. Eligibility is not determined based on race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other prohibited factor.
Visit Viterbi Experience
The Premier Campus Visit Program for High School Students Exploring First‑Year Admission
Our on-campus Visit Viterbi Experience sessions are the best way to get to know more about our programs.
This 90‑minute session is designed specifically for prospective first‑year applicants and includes an overview of our academic programs and the first‑year admission process led by a USC Viterbi admission counselor. When available, the session also features a brief facility or lab tour. Current Viterbi students participate as well, offering insight into student life and answering questions (when classes are in session).
These events are intended for high school students and their families who are interested in applying as first‑year students to USC Viterbi.

Virtual Info Sessions for First-Year Applicants
Can’t Visit Campus? Let’s Cover Everything Virtually!
We understand that making it to campus for one of our in-person sessions is not possible for everyone.
On select Saturdays (and a few weekdays here and there), we provide the same information via a personal, interactive Zoom meeting.
Similar to our in-person events, these sessions are designed specifically for prospective first‑year applicants. 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 one 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 Student Advisement & Info
Course Selection, Application Processes, and more!
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.
