Career Services

Career exploration and planning is a defining element of every student’s Price experience. Our staff maintains strong connections with employers and alumni across the public policy sphere, and we provide resources that give students a competitive advantage after graduation. From the moment a student arrives on campus, Price encourages individuals to consider what his or her future will look like, and our team will help you to determine which steps to take to get there.

The USC Price School Office of Career Services remains available to you even after you graduate. The Price School is committed to serving our vibrant alumni community — by providing advisement and insights as you explore career opportunities; by helping you connect with current Price students for job and internship openings; and by keeping you posted on how to become more involved in the Trojan Family.

We connect great employers with highly qualified students and alumni who want to contribute to your organization’s growth and success. Our students work with leading faculty and professional mentors in areas including public and nonprofit management, health care administration, urban planning, policy analysis and managing international programs. From posting an opportunity to establishing your organization’s presence on campus, we hope that you build a relationship with our students so that we can improve communities together.

Charged to deliver career education and training, we recruit information-seeking staff who strive to remain abreast of world of work culture, existing and burgeoning career pathways, and best-practice sharing in our field.

We serve many stakeholders, but our students come first. Our approachable staff empowers students to thrive in ambiguity with confidence and self-awareness.

We see ourselves as the architects of connection, forging valuable relationships within the community and inculcating a career culture on the Price campus. In support of expanding and showcasing the Trojan network, we connect people to people, resources to students, and theory to practice.

“Think global, act local.” We embrace this motto. In an ever changing and interconnected world, we recognize the importance of training a culturally competent staff to design programming that emphasizes diversity and inclusion. Our goal is to broaden student perspectives enabling them to see the widest range of careers possible.
