SUMMER IN LOS ANGELES
Located in the heart of Los Angeles – a global center for the arts, technology and intercontinental trade – the University of Southern California is one of the world’s leading private research universities and home to an outstanding liberal arts college, an integrated academic medical center, and some of the best professional and arts schools in the country.
USC fosters a vibrant culture of academic excellence and public service, encouraging students to cross academic as well as geographic boundaries in their pursuit of knowledge. USC enrolls more international students than any other U.S. university and offers extensive opportunities for internships and study abroad. The USC community of faculty, staff, students and alumni extends across the world, creating a global Trojan Family.
USC SUMMER PROGRAMS

USC Summer Programs’ courses are taught by USC faculty and members of the academic community who are experienced in their field. Summer Programs’ faculty create an engaging academic experience by combining lectures, hands-on workshops and labs, guest speakers and academic field trips to locations throughout Los Angeles. In both depth and scope, each course is designed to be more interactive, engaging, and challenging than either accelerated high school classes or the broad introductory courses offered by other summer pre-collegiate programs.
Join us this summer for an engaging academic experience in Los Angeles!
