Master the Skills to Create Real Change

A degree from USC Price equips you with the expertise you'll need to drive change in your community and beyond.

USC Price prepares you to transform your vision for a better world into meaningful change. You’ll engage deeply with critical issues, challenge conventional wisdom, and use practical knowledge to turn obstacles into opportunities. In the classroom and on real-world projects, you’ll gain skills, develop new knowledge, advance your career, and tackle 21st century problems to work towards a better, more just society.

USC Price consistently earns its reputation for excellence— it’s consistently ranked among the nation’s top 5 schools of its kind by U.S. News and World Report—thanks in large part to its renowned faculty. These scholars are not only leading experts in their fields and practitioners making real-world change, they’re also your mentors and, in many cases, collaborators on cutting-edge research.

With Los Angeles as a “living laboratory” right at your fingers, a growing number of opportunities in Washington, D.C., and study abroad programs around the globe, your learning will never be confined to a classroom. At USC Price, you’ll see ideas in action and in real time. You’ll gain experience that will empower you to take on any path or challenge you choose.
