THE PROGRESSIVE DEGREE PROGRAM PDP is an accelerated master’s degree open to USC’s academically outstanding undergraduate juniors and seniors. It allows you to begin taking master’s-level courses while finishing the final semesters of your bachelor’s degree. Blending your undergraduate and graduate degrees via PDP may reduce the number of graduate units required for degree completion. Interested in two different fields of engineering? Consider pursuing one field as a B.S. and one as an M.S. through PDP. For more information: https://viterbigradadmission.usc.edu/progressive-degree-program/ Viterbi.pdp@usc.edu
