Program · Highlight
Social Entrepreneurship Class and Group Projects
Taught by senior instructors at USC Annenberg, this program will immerse students in the world of entrepreneurship and business. Students will learn the state-of-the-art of entrepreneurial strategy and marketing through lectures and intense in-class discussions. They also learn through doing assignments that shed light on multiple aspects of social entrepreneurship while honing students’ many practical skills. Students will also form teams, to brainstorm, collaborate and pitch their own business ideas and plans in front of instructors and peers.
Bilingual Teaching Assistantship
Bilingual teaching assistants (TAs) will be with the students throughout the program. The TAs will not only help the students with their academic work such as understanding the lectures, mastering new knowledge, and completing the assignments; they also monitor and mentor the students closely while providing the latter with emotional and social support. Students who are less confident with their English skills will be able to participate in class adequately and grow tremendously after the program.
US College Immersion
Students will be staying at USC dorms, eating at USC dining halls, and interacting with USC students on a daily basis. Students also have the opportunity to tour other US colleges (e.g. UCLA) and have in-depth discussions with American college students. These in-person experiences will help the students to better understand the US educational system and prepare themselves for the future journeys.
Business Site Visits
Students will visit corporate or NGO sites in the Los Angeles area under the guidance of the organization’s management team and USC faculty. Students will also hear from and talk with the leadership team directly. Such on-site observations and explorations will allow the students to better understand how enterprises operate while expanding their industry connections.
Face-to-Face with College Admission Officer
Students have the opportunity to meet and talk directly with USC admission officers, to understand US college applications and experiences from their unique perspectives. Students may also gain rare insights about their dream schools, which will hopefully help enhance the students’ application materials and benefit their growth long-term.
High-impact Certificates and Letters
Students who complete all the learning activities and assignments adequately will receive official Certificates of Completion and Acknowledgement Letters from their USC instructors. These hard-won certificates and letters testify to the efforts and dedication that students have demonstrated throughout the program.
