In an increasingly global economy, success depends more than ever on understanding the cultural, linguistic and other differences among countries — as well as appreciating the commonalities that unite us. USC builds future global leaders and encourages the cultivation of this awareness by providing students of every discipline the opportunity to participate in a wide range of overseas programs.
