Our signature 8-week Introductory Fellowship (application linked here), where we first explore the basic principles of Effective Altruism, and then tackle the challenge of figuring out how we can do the most good with our habits and careers. Fellows will finish about 1.5 hours worth of readings each week, and have 1 hour discussions with an experienced Effective Altruist about the ideas.
The Introductory Fellowship is open to all USC students, staff, and faculty, no matter your previous experience with Effective Altruism.

Our In-depth Fellowship is an 8-week program designed for people who have completed the Introductory Fellowship. Meetings consist of high-level discussion between experienced Effective Altruists about various areas within Effective Altruism. This program is partly self-directed as weekly topics are flexible and are determined by a group's particular interests. Readings are about 1.5 hours a week, and discussions are an hour.
​
The In-depth Fellowship is open only to graduates from the Introductory Fellowship.
Funding for our programs and events is generously provided by the Center for Effective Altruism.
