Bachelor’s: Required in engineering or related fields, preferably Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Aerospace, Engineering Mechanics, or Transportation.
Equivalent Coursework: If you come from another background, you must have taken equivalent foundational engineering courses (e.g., structural design).
GPA: Must report GPA on a 4.0 scale; USC reviews applications holistically—no strict minimum, but competitive applicants typically have high GPAs (e.g., ≥3.5/4.0).
