USC Sol Price School of Public Policy Reviews
Rating 4.48 out of 5 21 reviews
I was disappointed to see that many scholarship programs funded by the school weren't available for my specific department regarding my field hours I would be completing in my 2nd year. I'm worried since I work full time and am the main financial provider for my family, but I am really excited about getting experience in my community! I have loved going to campus and meeting new people, especially since they live near LA, and they also want to make new friends to attend football games etc. I got involved in the Latinx Caucus of Social Work, this has given me the opportunity to start connecting more in my community and other students to feel welcomed and involved as well. I will be planning events on campus and outreaching to local non-university related members to increase education and be a resource. I have to explore more but it's not far from home so I love that :)
The coursework is super engaging, the format for some of my asynchronous lectures are a bit different but the most common format used is the one I appreciate more. I am able to follow along, take notes, go back to review what I missed and there's a transcript available. Same thing with our live lectures, they're also recorded and uploaded. In class our discussions are super engaging and it doesn't feel like anyone isn't doing the required readings or not present. I will say a lot is packed into each week, including the asynchronous lectures, that take over 2 hours to watch and then take notes on, about 3-5 readings, the live lectures, and also discussions/assignments. But over the material in multiple ways has helped me retain the information that we've discussed and it does feel fast paced but manageable.
I am an new entry graduate student in Healthcare Administration at the University of Southern California. Although I have not started yet, the reason I believe my input is valid for this scholarship is because for the past two years i have been in contact with their faculty, and it has been so informative! I was so happy with the faculty that I even went in person to meet one of the counselors named Will to discuss my future admission for the MHA program. The staff made me feel so welcome, and I learned how networking with USC can be such an important asset in a graduate degree. Additionally, Will even offered to connect me to USC alumni, prior to my admission.
