USC has long-standing strengths and historical commitments to international studies, providing a sound intellectual foundation for the Boeckmann Collection and expanded Latin American, Iberian, and Chicano/Latino holdings. Many academic departments and professional schools have faculty with primary or secondary interests in Spain, Portugal, Latin America or in matters relating to their spheres of influence in the U.S., Asia, and Africa. Related university resources include the Spanish Cultural Resource Center, sponsored by the Consulate of Spain, providing curriculum materials for primary and secondary teachers and for the Latino Teacher Project of the School of Education; the International Business Education and Research Program (IBEAR); the California-Mexico Project; the Center for International Studies (CIS); the Center for Multiethnic and transnational Studies; El Centro Chicano; Overseas Study Programs; International Students and Scholars Office; the Fisher Gallery, which regularly sponsors exhibits related to Spain and Latin American art and artists; the Del Amo Foundation grants for the study of Spanish Culture and Civilization, administered by the Division of the Humanities; numerous student groups and organizations with interest in Iberia, Latin America and Chicanos/Latinos; the Phi Beta Delta International Honor Society, established to recognize students and faculty with achievements in international fields, and the Ad Hoc International Discussion Group and the International Affairs Committee, which bring together faculty, staff and administrators with active involvement in international education and research.

Beyond USC, the campus holds memberships in the Southern California Consortium for International Studies (SOCCIS) and in the Center for Research Libraries' Latin American Microform Project (LAMP).
