REACH 2015: Apply for Graduate Engineering Visit at USC


The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is pleased to announce its REACH event for prospective Master’s and Ph.D. students occurring April 9-10, 2015. REACH is a graduate preview event that brings to the University of Southern California campus talented students from all over the U.S. and Canada who are considering graduate study in an engineering field. This event is particularly geared toward students from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the field of engineering: African-American, Latino and Native American. Travel expenses to and from Los Angeles, hotel lodging, and meals are subsidized by the Viterbi School.

Students who are seriously considering a Master’s or Ph.D. in engineering and currently in their sophomore or junior year in an engineering, computer science, applied mathematics or applied physical science major are invited to apply to participate in REACH. Students selected to participate will:
-          attend presentations by faculty about doctoral research opportunities
-          tour the USC campus and visit our engineering labs and facilities
-          meet with doctoral students to discuss graduate student life
-          learn about applying for graduate admission and financial aid
-          interact with other prospective engineering students as well as faculty and staff in the school

This experience will provide a unique opportunity to gain valuable tools and resources to prepare for application to doctoral programs upon graduation. Visiting the USC Viterbi School of Engineering is the best way to experience what top engineering graduate programs have to offer!

Interested students are encouraged to visit the REACH website to get additional information and apply to participate in this year’s REACH Graduate Engineering Preview event.  The application deadline is February 27, 2015.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
