Create a username and password to log in to the online application portal. You may complete the application at your own pace and in any order.
Add your Résumé

Add your Writing Sample
Upload a representative sample of your professional or academic writing abilities. You must upload one sample, but may submit up to three writing samples to the portal.
Request Two Letters of Recommendation
Apply your recommender’s name and email address to the Evaluations tab of the application. Your recommenders will receive an email invitation to submit their recommendation online. You do not need to wait for your recommenders to complete their evaluations in order to submit your application. Your application will automatically update once letters are received.
Two professional letters of recommendation are required but you may submit three. Academic letters are acceptable for applicants with limited professional experience. Select your recommenders based on their ability to give in-depth insights about the quality of your work. Recommenders should not be peers or subordinates.
Write a Statement of Purpose
Write an essay explaining why you are pursuing your master’s degree. Keep your essay simple and concise. Write one to two pages addressing the following questions:
– Why are you pursuing the Master of Science in Digital Media Management degree?
– Tell us how your professional experience will contribute to the program and how a master’s degree will help you in your career.
– Why is the program at USC Annenberg a good fit for you?
