Courses are transmitted from studio classrooms at the USC campus via an Internet-delivery system. DEN students view the same lecture as on-campus students.
Students can view the courses live, or later at their convenience. Lectures are archived for the entire semester and can be downloaded.
Live instruction is interactive - students can call by a toll free phone line to ask the professor questions. Additionally, students can provide remote presentations.
Professors' in-class notes are digitized and posted so students can print them and watch the lecture.
Homework is submitted by email or fax to the DEN Document Center. Click here for details.
Exams are proctored at local testing centers for students outside of Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties. Students in these local areas are required to come to the USC main campus for their exams. Click here for details.
Because DEN students undergo the same academic requirements, curriculum, and must adhere to the same academic standards as on-campus students, your diploma is ultimately issued by the University of Southern California. There is no difference between remote students and on-campus students.
