Founded in 1880, the University of
Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles is one of the world's
leading private research universities. The university includes the
College of Letters, Arts and Sciences as well as 17 professional
schools, including the country's first school of international relations
and the first filmmaking program. USC has been recognized for its
commitment to public service for its Joint Academic Project, one
of the oldest service-learning programs in the United States, and

medicine.
The Annenberg

Ambassador Walter H. Annenberg. Offering degrees in journalism and
communication, USC Annenberg is also home to path-breaking research
and professional education projects, including the Western Knight
Center for Specialized Journalism, the Center for Communication
Law and Policy, the Center for Journalism and Democracy and the
