Viterbi GCSP offers undergraduate students the opportunity to tailor their curricular and co-curricular experiences towards meaningful work, discovery, and academic pursuits that contribute to solving global society’s most pressing issues. Throughout their undergraduate education, GCSP students are required to engage with each of the five Mindsets needed to solve for Grand Challenges. Students who receive GCSP Designation in their senior year of undergrad demonstrate understanding and commitment to the five Mindsets, and thus are equipped to make impactful contributions as scholars and professionals. GCSP students are prepared to use an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, with engineering as the foundation for the multifaceted ways in which they view the world.

As an integral component of a school developed around the concept of Engineering+, GCSP acts as vehicle for engagement in the many activities available to undergraduates at Viterbi, including student organizations, coursework, honors programs, design teams, research, study abroad experiences, and much more. Our goal is to get Viterbi students involved with their campus and reflecting on how their experiences relate to solving for Grand Challenges.

This program is open to all Viterbi undergraduate students, and we would like to see as many students as possible pursuing Designation as Grand Challenges Scholars!
