Fall 2023 Freshman Academy Coach Application

Yes, current freshmen are welcome to apply.

Yes, you are welcome to apply if you did not take ENGR 102 during your freshman year (because you were a transfer student, started at USC during the spring semester, were admitted to Viterbi through the pre-engineering process, or because your major did not require you to take Freshman Academy).

ENGR 102 is offered only in the fall semester, so the position is for the fall semester only. There may be limited additional opportunities for coaches in the spring semester, but coaches will be considered separately for any such positions.

The deadline to submit the application is February 24 at 11:59 PM PST. Applicants will be notified in early March if they have been selected for an interview, which will take place in late March. Offers will be extended in early April.

Coaches are assigned their co-coach, along with their ENGR 102 section time and faculty member, in late July or August, prior to the start of the fall semester. 

No, coaches do not register for ENGR 102, and coaches do not need to make any considerations for Freshman Academy when registering for fall semester courses. Coaches will be assigned to ENGR 102 sections based their course schedules.

Coaches will meet once near the end of the spring semester for an orientation meeting. All coaches are required to attend two days of training on August 17-18, 2022, immediately prior to the start of the fall semester.
