USC truly is the University of the 21st Century. We offer more academic opportunities than any university in the United States with 150 majors and 150 minors. USC undergraduate students learn from world-class faculty in the classroom, in the laboratory, in the field and in the community.

One of the most international universities in the United States, we are located in one of the most diverse dynamic cities in the world. USC undergraduates enjoy a vibrant campus life, interacting with classmates from across the country and around the world, with more than 700 student organizations, exciting Division I and intramural sports, as well as plays, concerts and speaker series throughout the academic year.

Complete Part I of the Application for Undergraduate Admission.

• If you chose not to submit Part I, or missed the October 15th deadline, you should begin the USC application process with Part II. Be assured that Part I is optional and that not submitting it will in no way affect your admission.

Complete Part II of the Application for Undergraduate Admission.

The fee for Part II is $40 if you submitted and paid for Part I of the application. If you did not submit Part I, the fee for Part II is $65.
