About the Graduate School
What We Do
The Graduate School serves more than 6,400 graduate students, hailing from across our state, the nation, and the world. We work with faculty and staff to enrich the graduate student experience and promote the importance and value of graduate education.
USC graduate students study in 68 doctoral programs, 128 master’s programs, 22 certificate programs, and 21 dual degree programs. The Graduate School provides administrative services for these programs and promotes and protects academic excellence and integrity. In our efforts to build on our community of engaged scholars and professionals, and to further heighten USC’s reputation as a top-ranked graduate institution, we also fund strategic awards—such as recruitment fellowships and travel grants—and design collaborative initiatives to enhance the professional and academic development of our students.
