Overview

Candidates from all countries are encouraged to apply to USC.

Please select your country of study to determine the academic records that USC requires you to submit to be considered for admission.

Please note that all translations must be issued by the institution of study or by a professional translation service to be considered official. USC does not accept credential evaluation reports in lieu of official academic records issued by your institution of study.

Additionally, students must submit academic records for graduate qualifications, if earned, and official and valid TOEFL/IELTS/PTE scores if English language proficiency is listed under the country-specific requirements.
