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
