Who
is this program tailored for? [top]
The DEN program is designed for engineering professionals
who work full-time and do not have time to come to campus.
It is also designed to allow people who do not live in Los
Angeles who would like to obtain their Master's degree from
one of the top ten engineering graduate schools in the nation.
How
is the USC Viterbi School of Engineering ranked among other
universities? [top]
The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is ranked the #7
engineering graduate school in the nation, by U.S.
News & World Report for 2006. In addition, DEN
has been named one of the top
e-learning graduate programs of engineering by the same publication.
How
long does it take to earn a degree? [top]
This depends on the rate at which courses are taken. For example
if one course a semester is taken during the fall, spring,
and summer terms, a student will earn a master's degree in
three years. You have up to 7 years to complete the program.
Will
the degree be from DEN or from USC? [top]
DEN students are no different from on-campus USC students.
The same requirements and curriculum apply, so your degree
is issued from the University of Southern California.
Are
you open to customizing programs to meet a corporation's specific
needs? [top]
Yes we may be able to customize a program to meet a corporation's
specific needs. Please contact Carolyn J. Suckow, Director
of Student & Corporate Affairs at jecks@usc.edu or (213) 821-0413 to discuss your education and corporate training
needs.
Do
you offer Ph.D. programs via distance education?[top]
It is possible to take a number of courses for the Ph.D.
via DEN, however the University does require
Ph.D. candidates to spend time on campus (this will vary according
to the individual's program of study). If you are interested
in the Ph.D., please contact the department directly.
