<p>I got into Viterbi for Computer Engineering and I talked to a professor in that dept. at USC at the open house.</p>
<p>He said some interesting stuff like:</p>
<p>-USC is the first school to ship a game to the market from their computer lab.
-They would be receiving an SDK to Microsoft’s project [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Natal]Natal[/url”>Kinect - Wikipedia]Natal[/url</a>]. (controlling games without physically touching a controller)
-They do have connections with EA, but the professor was talking about how EA is suffering right now under what he thinks is bad management.
-Kids are designing iPhone apps and paying for tuition with their earnings!
-Every single student Computer Science with an emphasis in games that graduated from USC got a job straight out of college (except for a few who didn’t want to jump right into a career yet)</p>
<p>So it sounds like they have a strong program.</p>
