<p>I heard the goal of USC is to make Viterbi Engineering on par with Stanford, MIT and Cal Tech. My son was extremely impressed with the state of the art equipment he saw at Viterbi on Explore Day–one of the best he has ever seen.
Also, I think a lot of these top majors-cinema, CS, Annenberg, etc. have students with a passion and inner drive for these areas and reallly enjoy them.</p>
