USC SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

The University of Southern California is one of the world’s leading private research universities. It is an anchor institution in Los Angeles and a global center for the arts, technology, and international business. With seven academic units dedicated to art-focused disciplines, USC provides extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary study and collaboration with leading researchers in highly advanced learning environments.

Since its founding in 1919, the USC School of Architecture has also been a place for individual invention. Past design faculty members include many Case Study Program collaborators and other renowned figures, such as Richard Neutra, Gregory Ain, Ralph Knowles, Craig Ellwood, and Pierre Koenig. Its architecture program has produced a significant number of renowned architects who have transformed architectural practice, including Paul R. Williams, Gin Wong, Frank Gehry, Mark Rios, and Thom Mayne.

Today, the School supports over 100 faculty and 630 students. We offer three accredited professional degrees—the Bachelor of Architecture degree, the Master of Architecture degree, and the Master of Landscape and Urbanism degree; two pre-professional degrees; research-based master degrees in Heritage Conservation, Building Science, and Advanced Architectural Research Studies (post-professional); as well as dual degree programs at the graduate level with the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, the USC Price School of Public Policy, and USC Dornsife College.

Each program is committed to being a 21st-century academic and cultural institution dedicated to producing the next generation of leaders in design, research, and scholarship—redefining professional education and experimenting with radical, collaborative pedagogical models aligned with other creative and professional disciplines and informed by the vibrant cultures, communities, and creative economies of our global home city.

Our core values include social justice and the belief that collectively, through architecture, we can enrich basic human existence in harmony with local and regional ecologies. Our school culture revolves around curating vibrant contemporary debates with informed and critical dialogue.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Candidates must have a graduate or undergraduate degree from an accredited professional program, as well as a record of proven professional and academic accomplishment and innovation.
