Viterbi BEYOND THE CLASSROOM At Viterbi, we believe that learning occurs in any space where you choose to learn. We encourage you to take advantage of any opportunity to put your classroom knowledge into practice — through undergraduate research, internships, student organizations or volunteer activities. “ In my classes, there’s always a correct answer — in research, you’re the one that has to come up with the answer, and I find that to be one of the most exciting things that an undergrad has the opportunity to participate in. ”
