USC has in-depth and comparatively tough curriculum. MSCS students can take upto 8 courses/ 32 credits. Most of the courses require constant efforts to excel. There are a few chill courses as well. Students need to find out the prefect balance in order to sail smoothly.

There are only couple of mandatory courses that you have to finish and the rest all are electives. So there are a very wide range of courses to chose from for electives and students pick courses based on their interests. Some courses like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence have a very high demand and hundreds of students take them and there are new courses that are introduced every semester based on new technologies in the industry. Overall I think there are lot of good courses.

Fees

Tuition fee is credit based and it changes every semester. When I studied, it was between 1950-200$ per credit and you had to finish 28 credits to get a degree in Computer Science and 32 credits if you are doing a specialization. 28*2000 = 56,000 USD You can find the current credit fee at - https://viterbigradadmission.usc.edu/programs/masters/tuition-funding/tuition-funding-masters/

The course curriculum is very impressive. I never knew I will appreciate studying a course in depth so much but the way the courses are structured, the assignments, the examinations, everything makes you learn the material very easily and thoroughly. You will be able to retain the studied material for a much longer time because you are forced to understand the topics instead of a rote mode of learning.

Fees

The total tuition fee is approximately $66,000.

TOEFL is enough or I need to write gre for getting admission in ms pharma University?

GRE qualification is not mandatory to apply and get admission in the MS Pharmaceutical Sciences program at the University of Southern California. However, it is mandatory for all international students with English as a secondary language to submit a valid ELP test score to prove their proficiency in English language.

Is Duolingo accepted in USC for MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences?
S

The University of Southern California does not accept Duolingo as one of its ELP tests required for international admission. The university accepts various ELP tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, etc.
