DEN strives to meet the needs of engineering professionals, providing the opportunity to advance your education while maintaining your career and other commitments. By breaking down geographical and scheduling barriers, DEN allows you to take your classes anytime and anywhere.

How DEN Works

• Courses are transmitted from studio classrooms at the USC campus via an Internet-delivery system.  DEN students are viewing the same lecture as on-campus students.
  
• Students can view the courses live, or later at their convenience.  Lectures are archived for the entire semester and can be downloaded.
  
  
• Live instruction is interactive - students can call by a toll free phone line to ask the professor questions, or use threaded online chat.
  
  
• Professors' in-class notes are digitized and posted so students can print them and watch the lecture.
  
  
• Homework is submitted by email or fax to the DEN Document Center.
  
  
• Exams are proctored at local testing centers (with the exception of Los Angeles based students, who are required to come to campus for their exams).
  
  
• Because DEN students undergo the same academic requirements, curriculum, and must adhere to the same academic standards as on-campus students, your diploma is ultimately issued by the University of Southern California.  There is no difference between remote students and on-campus students.
