The Information Technology Program (ITP) offers minors, specializations, and classes for all students interested in learning about the dynamic and growing field of information technology (IT). Courses offer students practical experience with the latest programming languages, tools, and software.
ITP courses are open to all USC students.
Minors
ITP minors are open to undergraduate students in all majors.
To apply for a minor, students should meet the regular admissions standards and have a declared USC major. For specific information on admission and application procedures, see itp.usc.edu. Students should consult ITP’s advisers about course sequencing, departmental clearance, and course substitutions.
Please see the catalogue page for each minor for program descriptions and requirements.
Specializations
ITP specializations are open to students in all majors. Specializations are an alternative for students interested in gaining experience who do not have space to complete a full minor program. Specializations do not appear on transcripts, but students are eligible to receive certificates from ITP upon completion of required course work to document their successful completion of the specialization.
For specific information on admission and application procedures, see itp.usc.edu. Students should consult ITP’s advisers about course sequencing, departmental clearance, and course substitutions.
