From some of our earliest alumni, like Andrew Viterbi as a pioneer in shaping digital communications by inventing the Viterbi algorithm, and Ming Hsieh, who transformed biometric identification technology, the newest generation of graduates has been passed the baton to lead and guide the future of computing in top industry jobs.
This year, many students from USC Viterbi School of Engineering and USC Mark and Mary Stevens School of Computing and Artificial Intelligence have secured jobs or lined up offers before graduating, and will be walking with both a degree and a job offer from top tech companies in the nation, including Apple, Nvidia, Amazon and Microsoft.
USC’s data shows that the top companies for the two academic departments under USC Viterbi and USC Mark and Mary Stevens School of Computing are Amazon and Apple.
The top five firms alumni from the Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science (CS) currently work at are Amazon, Google, Meta Platforms, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft; with Apple, Intel, Northrop Grumman, Google and Nvidia being the top five companies Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) alumni are employed at, based on counts of living alumni data by USC.
