What our Students say about Viterbi:

	"Before coming to Viterbi, I knew that I would be attending a high-ranking graduate program, but it was not until I arrived that I really understood why it has earned such an outstanding reputation. The faculty, facilities and students are unparalleled. USC exceeded my expectations" - Adnan Choudhary, MS Computer Science, 2003
	"When I first decided to pursue my graduate degree, my erratically busy work schedule posed a huge obstacle for me to attend classes in person. Fortunately, the online DEN program at USC made it really easy for me to watch the classes during my free time at night and on the weekends. DEN made it possible for me to achieve my goal." - Dennis Lee, MS Engineering Mgmt, 2007
	"I realized that the opportunities to excel- whether learning and applying theory and performing hands-on experiments in the classroom or doing research on micro aerial vehicles, or building airplanes to compete in annual competitions- were endless at Viterbi." - Shanling Yang, MS Aerospace Engineering, 2010
