Ranked among the nation’s top public affairs schools, USC Price combines rigorous academics, evidence-based research, hands-on learning, and deep engagement with communities.


Located in Los Angeles, the school brings together public policy, health policy, real estate development, urban planning, and spatial analysis to address complex challenges from multiple angles. Students graduate with practical skills, strong professional networks, and the support of the Trojan Family as they pursue careers across government, nonprofit, private, and public-serving organizations.
