"As a full-time working professional participating in the DEN@Viterbi program remotely from Colorado, I couldn't have hoped for a more convenient experience in a master's degree. The resources available for remote students are incredible at USC. Given my work schedule and other commitments it was often inconveneint or impossible for me to join lectures live. The fact that the lectures are recorded with an A/V operator present allows lectures to use a combination of classroom video, virtual slide sharing, and digital slide annotating or white boarding in a way that the remote student has just as effective of a learning experience as those in the room"
- Scott Tuttle, MS in Systems Architecting & Engineering, Panasonic
"The Systems Architecting and Engineering program was the perfect fit for my systems engineering future in the Aerospace field. The concepts we covered were easily relatable and I could start to use the new skills in my current role. My fellow students had a passion for learning and contributed to my overall understanding of the complex system of systems material. Overall, I would recommend this degree to those desiring a future in Systems Engineering and to those who want to expand their current work scope."
