SOUTH UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA “Palmam qui meruit ferat” U
SC, which was founded in 1880, is the oldest private research university in the western United States. . . .
The school motto means, “Let whoever earns the palm bear it.” . . . USC is best known for its University Park campus, which is located near downtown Los Angeles. But a second main campus, the Health Sciences campus, is three miles northeast of downtown L.A. The Health Sciences campus is home to the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the School of Pharmacy, three major teaching hospitals, and more. The University also has programs and centers in several other Southern California locations, as well as in Sacra- mento, and Washington, D.C. . . . About one of fi ve incoming fresh- men annually are “SCions”— children, grandchildren, or sib- lings of previous USC students. But USC also enrolls more in- ternational students annually than any other university in the country, and about 12 percent of incoming freshmen are fi rst- generation college students. . . . In 17 professional schools, plus the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School, USC trains specialists in fi elds as diverse as medicine, law, business, communication, music, and engineering. . . . Through the years, USC has pioneered programs in emerging fi elds such as automotive science, gerontology, and occupational science. Today, USC’s program in the rapidly growing fi eld of game design is ranked No. 1 in North America. . . . Among its many athletic accomplishments, USC has sent more athletes to the Olympic Games than any other university.
