Progressive Degrees offer USC undergraduate students the unique opportunity to begin work on a graduate program while completing requirements for their bachelor’s degree.  This presentation features a panel of academic advisors: Ken Watson (Dornsife) and Julie Kim (Price) as they discuss requirements, benefits, and general timelines of the progressive degree program.  The Progressive Degree program works well for students who want to gain an edge in the admission process or for those intending to pursue a career in an industry where a master’s degree will provide an advantage as they enter the workforce. The Spatial Sciences Institute has partnered with other USC departments to establish clear pathways for students to pair the B.S. in GeoDesign with an advanced degree as well other undergraduate programs of study with the M.S. in Geographic Information Science and Technology.
