A partnership with Bocconi University in Milan and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the World Bachelor of Business is the first-ever four-year, three-continent, three-degree undergraduate business program in the world. Students study at three top business schools in major economic and cultural zones, earning a bachelor’s degree from each institution and emerging ready for success in the fast-moving global economy.
In partnership with three dozen universities around the world, the International Exchange Program enables undergraduate students to widen their exposure to other cultures while deepening their understanding of international business theories, practices and concerns of the international community.

The Global Executive Doctor of Education program prepares senior educational leaders, policymakers, administrators and change agents for the challenging task of improving individual and national education outcomes through strategic use of policy, innovative practice and assessment.

USC Thornton School of Music
Music students have traditionally had fewer opportunities for international study than other disciplines, often because of strong ties to individual teachers who provide one-on-one training. USC Thornton is one of the first schools in the U.S. to overcome this challenge and immerse students in a unique learning environment with students and faculty at partner institutions abroad.

Faculty-Led Programs are unique programs with a travel component designed and led by USC faculty centered on an area of expertise or interest. Through this formative experience, students grow linguistically and culturally and return with exciting new stories and ideas.
