Alumni Careers

"The classes at USC I took to earn my sustainability certificate solidified my understanding of CEQA and disaster planning. I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working with LA Commons for one of my classes. I feel confident that my time at USC has prepared me for my next career opportunity."

"I valued the diversity in thought, background, and interests the program promoted within the student body and its social justice-oriented curriculum. This sense of inclusion created an environment where I felt successful in exploring various pathways and in taking my training further to pursue a Ph.D. in transportation."

"USC Price provided me the interdisciplinary, hands-on framework I was looking for in an urban planning program. In addition to courses specific to my climate change and sustainability concentration, I was able to participate in diverse classes and research projects related to native landscapes, affordable housing, equitable environmental engagement, and active transportation. I also held internships in both the public and private sectors during my graduate experience. I am now a full-time energy and sustainability planner in Los Angeles—in no small part thanks to Price."
