TSP is a 6-week program that helps incoming transfer students maximize their time at USC Marshall and build a community among other transfer students. Although open to all transfer students, TSP is intended for students who are historically from underrepresented ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and who identify as first generation (or first in their family) to go to college.

Through a series of weekly sessions, participants will be introduced to topics such as: 

• Getting involved 
• Academic support services 
• Career resources 
• Building relationships with faculty
