Let's Get Together!
Deciding which college to attend is one of the most significant decisions you can make in your life. Learn why the School of Cinematic Arts may be the perfect fit for you by visiting us on-campus, meeting us off-campus in a city near you or through a virtual information session.
USC's highest priority is the well-being of our campus community, and the well-being of anyone who visits our campus. In order to do our part to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, the University has cancelled all USC-sponsored events through May 3, 2020.
We invite you to participate in a virtual information session where we will cover information about the School of Cinematic Arts, our programs and the admissions process and provide an opportunity for Q & A. You may view available dates and register for a session by clicking "Register for a Virtual Information Session" below.
