Pre-College Programs

Welcome to USC Viterbi School of Engineering’s Pre-College Programs!  We offer a wide range of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programs for grades k-12 students and teachers. These programs all encourage, support, and prepare students to major in science or engineering when they reach college.
 
MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement)
MESA is a statewide program offering middle school and high school students an eclectic group of competitions, events, enrichment programs, meetings, workshops, and trips to corporate partners. MESA also provides professional development and training for teachers.
 
Mission Science
The fundamental purposes of Mission Science are to reinforce children’s natural curiosity and to instill an excitement about science and technology by providing “hands-on” projects and experiments. We provide real workshops, with tools and workbenches so students can work on projects, tinker with things and ideas, and learn about science in an informal atmosphere.
 
Special Programs
The special programs offered the Pre-College program provide training and support for science activities, competitions, and demonstrations. Hundreds of students and teachers benefit from their participation.
