Progressive Degree Program (PDP)
Refer to the Progressive Degree page under Students on the Annenberg website.
The application deadline was March 1, 2024. However, late applications will be accepted. Encourage students to submit as soon as possible since there is no deadline.
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.
Find the application on
the USC Undergraduate Education website at https://undergrad.usc.edu/programs/progressive/requirements/Seniors graduating December 2024 and May 2025 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.
