Throughout the year, we offer campus tours, admission presentations, and department information sessions—which you can sign up for on our website.
During the fall, we offer a number of Discover USC programs, both on-campus and off-campus for prospective students and their families to get to know USC. These programs are open to high school seniors and transfer applicants for Fall 2027 and Fall 2028. We have lots of great options to choose from…
Discover USC Open House
Our fall Discover USC Open House will take place on our University Park Campus on Saturday, October 17. This is our most comprehensive admission program for prospective students. Guests will have the opportunity to take a walking tour of campus led by a current student; hear from admission counselors about applying to USC as either a first-year or transfer applicant; attend a student panel to learn more about life as a member of our community; explore more about learning opportunities from representatives of our schools and programs; listen to an information session led by Financial Aid about financing a world-class education at USC; and experience the hustle and bustle of campus at the Academic Interest and Student Life Interest Fair (where you can pick up literature and ask questions about second majors or minors). Plus, you’ll get to experience our amazing city of Los Angeles! Register for the Discover USC Open House here.
Discover USC Off-Campus Events
Can’t make it to campus? Discover USC in a city near you! This fall, we’ll have programs in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Honolulu, Houston, New York, Seattle, and Washington DC, as well as Beijing, Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Shanghai. That’s a lot of flying around for our admission counselors! The events typically last two to three hours and include an admission presentation at the start. Students will then break into smaller groups by academic department, where they’ll have the opportunity to ask questions from different school representatives (for select schools). Know that, even if your academic department isn’t there, you can ask our admission counselors specific questions about your major; we’ve got you! Finally, you often have the chance to connect with local alumni who are excited at the possibility of having you join our Trojan Family. Register for a Discover USC Off-Campus Event here.
Discover USC Online Events
If you’re unable to meet us for an in-person event or you just want to stay in your pajamas, we’ll be offering online Discover USC events. These webinars are offered through Zoom and include an overview of USC and our admission process. Register for a Discover USC Online Event here.
Whatever option you choose, we hope that you’ll Discover USC for yourself this fall. We can’t wait to show you what an exciting place this is!
