USC seeks —and attracts— talented students from around the world who want to pursue their studies across traditional disciplines, explore the world and challenge the status quo.
Most USC undergraduates live on or near campus, taking part in our world-class residential programs. Your years at USC will be enriched by your fellow residents, and you will make friendships that will last a lifetime.
USC comprises one of the most diverse undergraduate populations of any top-ranked university in the US. With more than 850 student organizations, USC provides numerous ways to get involved and find your place within the Trojan Family.
On- and off-campus visit programs are designed to introduce you to our school, our application and admission process, financial aid, and campus life.
While we remain excited to welcome the newest members of the Trojan Family, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has prompted us to notify applicants of their admission decisions only online. We will not be sending admission decisions via mail.
First-Year Applicants: Admission decisions were posted in the USC Applicant Portal on Thursday, March 26. Admitted students can find more information about virtual events and next steps here.
Transfer Applicants: Watch your e-mail for status updates. Applicants will receive either an admission decision or a request for spring-term grades by May 31.
More details and information from the Office of Admission can be found on our webpage.
