Viterbi Exchange Programs

Exchange programs are an opportunity for Viterbi students to spend a semester abroad at a partner university, while an equal number of students from the same partner university enroll at the Viterbi School of Engineeringfor a semester.

Participating in an exchange program is an excellent opportunity for students to learn from peers and faculty in other countries, and to experience firsthand current engineering globalization issues. 

There are two different types of students who are eligible to apply for these programs:

• Viterbi students who want to study at a partner university (outgoing students).
• Students at one of our partner universities who would like study at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering (incoming students).

For more information and the appropriate application, please visit either the Outgoing Students or Incoming Students section of this website.

Viterbi students who participate in an exchange program will pay USC tuition while studying at a partner university, and their current financial aid packages will apply.
