Featured Programs
USC offers a variety of unparalleled programs, including first-of-their-kind global education initiatives and collaborations with peer institutions that break down geographic boundaries and fuel international partnership and student success.
USC Marshall School of Business
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.
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
This international consortium of leading higher education institutions uses iPodia — an innovative pedagogy of interactive, inverted and international education pioneered at USC — to create a true “classrooms-without-borders” paradigm around the world. The USC-led iPodia Alliance counts among its charter members Peking University, National Taiwan University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, India Institute of Technology – Bombay and RWTH Aachen University in Germany.
USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism
The USC Annenberg School and the London School of Economics & Political Science dual master’s degree program enables students to study in two of the world’s global media capitals. Students have access to experts in new technology, global media, international telecommunications and media studies. As professionals with a global perspective, graduates will have the opportunity to play a powerful role in redefining the way the world communicates.
The International Communication Studies (ICS) program is one of Annenberg’s most dynamic and prestigious study abroad programs, allowing students to travel across Europe and meet with esteemed international media companies.
USC Rossier School of Education
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. The Global Executive EdD stresses the examination of educational solutions from around the world as participants work with their own local challenges.
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.
USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
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.
