Each year, USC Price trains more than 2,100 top graduate, doctoral and undergraduate students from across the country and around the globe. They leave the school with a profound understanding of ethics and public service; detailed awareness of how the public, nonprofit and private sectors can intersect to achieve positive change; and the solid analytical, creative and consensus-building skills necessary to solve pressing problems. Students choose USC Price because they want to use their degree to change the world.
