<p>Ratio of undergrad/grad in terms of majors? Data</p>
<p>Is there a way I can find this? I'm interested primarily in the differences between # of grad and # of undergrad in Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and general BioChem majors for this school.</p>
<p>I've looked around without much luck; they seem to not psot this online.</p>
<p>I was hoping people could either point me in the right direction or any insider students know this information.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Why not call the Viterbi School and ask? Here is a number for you: 800 526 3347 . Keep in mind Commencement is this week so all staff members are very busy.</p>
<p>That number may be the admissions office. Perhaps somebody there could direct your call to the person who keeps track of enrollment in the various departments.</p>
<p>I just finished my junior year at USC and am majoring in Biomedical Engineering. I don’t know of the exact numbers you’re looking for, but as an undergraduate, I’ve always felt that there has been a great deal of personal attention and resources dedicated to the undergraduate students, especially within Viterbi.</p>
<p>In addition to opportunities and resources at the university level for undergraduates, Viterbi has its own staff, office, and programs for career services, research, academic resources and more. Most of my engineering classes have had a small classroom environment (anywhere from twenty to sixty students), and are always taught by professors, not graduate students. For some of the larger classes there are often TAs who each have office hours (in addition to that of the professor). I’ve always felt comfortable going to talk to my professor if I had questions about the course material, and have been fortunate to get to know many of them through class and office hours.</p>
<p>While a significant number of graduate students may initially concern undergraduate students interested in research, I’ve found the exact opposite to be true. I started working in a lab my first semester at USC, and many of my friends are also involved with research as undergraduates. If you are interested in pursuing research and approach a professor whose lab interests you, there is often either space available, or the professor knows of another lab that may have room for one more student. Additionally, undergraduates often utilize graduate students in the lab as great resources for asking questions, learning more about the research, and as a general guide for certain “how to’s” in the lab.</p>
