The Center for Engineering Diversity (CED) at the University of Southern California is dedicated to promoting scholastic, personal and professional excellence among underrepresented students in engineering. CED supports scholastic and personal achievement within our community of scholars while preparing students for successful careers as industry professionals and encouraging the pursuit of graduate degrees.
Established in 1975, CED has a long tradition of outstanding commitment to diverse students in engineering. CED designs, implements, and collaborates on various student-centered activities to increase student persistence within the Viterbi School of Engineering. CED offers its services to the entire USC community and maintains a focus on the retention and graduation of African American, Hispanic, and Native American students in engineering.
CED provides a wide range of services that foster the development of a community of scholars while preparing students for an engineering career and/or graduate school. CED students can take advantage of academic and professional development workshops, industry networking opportunities, scholarships, an after-hours study center and much more.
