Don’t Forget

“It’s ‘SC, not USC. Loyal alumni have for years been striving to drop the unwanted ‘U’ because of the confusion it brings about. It’s not just that we’re mixed up with the University of Santa Clara and the University of South Carolina; the real confusion comes when an easterner tries to unthread the difference between what he knows as USC and that other ‘U’ school hereabout: UCLA.”– Student Handbook 1948-49

Many of USC’s semester- and year-long international study programs are administered by the Office of Overseas Studies and enable you to study in a different educational and cultural context. Programs are available for a semester or for an academic year. Some of the programs require proficiency in the language of the host country; others are conducted in English. When you study abroad for a semester or year, you receive regular USC course credit and may apply financial aid to any program described in the USC Catalogue.

Courses taken abroad on overseas study programs not approved by USC must be reviewed and pre-approved by the Office of Degree Progress prior to enrollment. For additional information, you can visit the Office of Degree Progress, located in SAS 010, or call (213) 740-7444.

The programs offered by the Office of Overseas Studies, as well as international programs offered by the Annenberg School for Communication, the School of Architecture and the Marshall School of Business, are described in the USC Catalogue.

International Summer Session

The International Summer Session features many overseas courses each year for undergraduates and graduates. International Summer Session programs are listed in the USC Catalogue. Information about these programs is available from the school or department offering them as well as in the summer Schedule of Classes.
