WELCOME NEW USC GRADUATE STUDENTS


Graduate and professional students comprise nearly half of the total student body at USC and engage in a wide variety of academic disciplines. In welcoming you to the community of scholars and teachers at USC, we would like to invite you to participate in the university-wide Graduate Student Orientation, which will be held at the beginning of the Fall term.
 
Graduate Student Orientation will provide you information to help begin your graduate studies at USC.
