Progressive Degree Program Offerings

Progressive degrees could potentially be almost any Master’s degree at USC. However, not every Master’s program at USC allows the Progressive Degree option. Some professional degrees, such as the MBA and most medical practitioner Master’s programs, are not available for the Progressive Degree option. Program and School names below may contain links to Progressive Degree websites for those areas. A full list of all graduate degrees currently offered is available in the USC Catalogue.

The list of programs below includes departments that have offered the Progressive Degree option previously, but other programs may also be open to participating. Students may inquire about whether other programs are eligible for Progressive Degrees by contacting the admission offices for those programs directly.
