It has good courses of quantum computing where I further choose to do my PhD in. Great exposure of real time environment.
The University of Southern California is very well renowned and recognized in the field of VLSI and Computer Architecture which are my area of interest. They have numerous labs and research work going on in the field. Professors are highly qualified and involved in quality research with a really good publication history and citations. Alumni are placed in really good companies across the US.
Comments
The University of Southern California does not accept Duolingo as one of its ELP tests required for international admission. The university accepts various ELP tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, etc.
