University of Southern California

At the USC School of Dramatic Arts, we foster the talents of artist-scholars who are dramatically different – who are willing to imagine the future of the entertainment industry and bring it to life. Students at the USC School of Dramatic Arts arrive with enormous potential which we nurture and empower through an interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial education that helps them develop the skills necessary to discover their unique voice. The agile nature of our approach exposes students to diverse styles and multiple mediums, and they graduate prepared with the tools necessary for sustainable and thriving careers. We are, after all, Trojans. We are a dramatically different community within a world-class research university. Our faculty are working professionals from the stage and from the screen, from Los Angeles, from the nation and from around the world. We offer unparalleled production opportunities for students to gain critically important hands-on experience. And USC alumni are part of an unrivaled legacy: spanning every medium and every platform, our creative artists have made their way into the hearts and minds of millions.
