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.
Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, TSP will be held entirely online through Zoom. Sessions will be highly interactive. Therefore, we expect those participating in the program will be active members and engage with one another. All TSP sessions will also be recorded to provide the most flexibility for students who are unable to make the sessions due to time zone differences.
