Viterbi Programs and Services
Freshman Academies
The Academy courses are a unique opportunity for USC engineering freshmen to meet other engineering students and faculty. Additionally, the focus of these courses is the technical, political, ethical and societal impacts of engineering. We want to give our students a global picture of what engineers actually do and how engineering and the work of engineers relates to society.
