About USC Rossier Online

What unites all of the USC Rossier School of Education—renowned faculty, committed staff, dedicated students, and alumni the world over—is our determination to make a difference, to transform education and the lives of all students. To extend this shared passion around the globe and, more importantly, to expand the positive impact our graduates will make, we have brought a select number of our master’s level programs online.

Through USC Rossier Online, our academically rigorous programs are delivered through a cutting-edge web-based Learning Management System that includes a highly interactive social networking platform. The virtual campus experience provides you with a unique blend of live, face-to-face class sessions; online self-paced coursework; and hands-on field-based teaching experiences. As a student, you are taught by the same faculty as our on-campus students and benefit from the same level of interaction with faculty and peers. You will also learn, through real-world experiences, how to put theory into practice to become the kind of teacher who changes people’s lives.

The overall experience is everything you would expect from USC, made available in your own community.
