USC Viterbi School of Engineering : Overseas Program

Engineering is a global profession and studying abroad for a semester or a summer is a great way to learn more about other cultures as well as gain perspective on technology issues in other countries. Today companies are more often international in scope or collaborate with partners overseas. The opportunity to study abroad provides you with the opportunity to gain meaningful international exposure prior to entering the workforce.

The Viterbi School offers several different ways for students to study abroad:

Summer Overseas Programs

A seven week program offered each summer in various countries throughout Europe. Students participating in this program can make progress towards their engineering degree by taking two major related courses while also exploring Europe.

International Exchange Programs

These semester-long exchange programs give Viterbi students the opportunity to study at one of our partner schools and invite students of our partner institutions to study at USC.
