When you have found a university that offers everything you are looking for—terrific students taught by a great faculty on a beautiful campus in an exciting location—cost should not be the primary factor in your decision to apply or to attend.

USC has advantages that you generally will not find at less expensive institutions: smaller classes; tenure-track faculty teaching General Education courses; top-ranked programs in virtually every field; the opportunity to choose from more than 150 undergraduate majors and 130 minors; and the lifelong support of the Trojan Family. While attending a private university is a major investment, more than 60 percent of students at USC receive some type of financial assistance.

The University of Southern California admits students of any race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical disability or mental disability. The University's full non-discrimination policy can be found on the Web at policies.usc.edu.
