Admissions Overview

Design@USC is an online Master of Science in Integrated Design, Business and Technology. The program is intended for recent graduates and working professionals, and can be completed in as few as 18 months on a full-time basis.

Our online master’s has three annual cohorts. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so the sooner you apply, the sooner you will receive your admissions decision. We recommend that you apply early to ensure you have plenty of time to consider your financial aid options.

If you apply by the priority deadline, you can:

  • Waive your application fee
  • Have additional time to plan your finances
  • Register for classes early, if admitted
  • Begin networking early, if admitted

We strongly recommend that international students apply by the priority deadline to ensure there is enough time for their applications to be processed before the cohort start date.

You can see a full list of application requirements here.
