The Progressive Degree Path (PDPs) offer USC undergraduate students the unique opportunity to begin work on a graduate program while completing their bachelor’s degree requirements. These programs are ideal for students pursuing industry careers where a master’s degree provides an advantage when entering the workforce.

The USC Spatial Sciences Institute partnered with other USC departments to offer pathways for USC undergraduates and Spatial Sciences students (BS Geodesign, BS Global Geodesign, and BS HSGI) to leverage their majors and obtain a master's degree in five years.
