Six critical points about PDP:
Must be a USC student.
Apply in the junior year and start to take graduate classes along with undergraduate courses in the senior year. Graduate with your bachelor’s degree and return to USC Annenberg to complete master’s degree.
The application deadline is March 1, 2023 for all Annenberg PDP degrees. Late applications will not be accepted and incomplete applications will not be reviewed by faculty admission committees. Find the application on
the USC Undergraduate Education website at https://undergrad.usc.edu/programs/progressive/requirements/Seniors graduating December 2022 and May 2023 must apply for graduate admission through the regular graduate application process. Refer to graduate applicants on the Annenberg Admissions page.
No online degree programs are offered as PDPs.
