ABOUT USC SCHOOLOF ARCHITECTURE

Bay Interim Dean Students 700 Faculty 110

Established in 1919, the USC School of Architecture capitalizes on the synergy created by its location and its activity. As an academic cultural institution in South Los Angeles, its impact reaches Latin America and the Pacific Rim and engages local citizenry on issues that affect their own environment, community and well-being.

Throughout its activity on campus and off, USC Architecture promotes a greater understanding of space, the city and urbanization as part of an ethical and philanthropic vision. Our impact is shaped by the courage of our faculty to pose difficult questions, engage in robust debate, and integrate interdisciplinary thinking into their pedagogies. We're redefining the agency of architect to include citizen, influencer of public policy, and advocate for change.
