University of Southern
California at a Glance
Established: 1880
Los Angeles was little
more than a frontier town in 1880 when
USC first opened its doors to 53
students and 10 teachers. Today it is a
world class research university, the
oldest private research university in
the West.
Location: Los
Angeles, California
USC's University Park
Campus, located in the heart of Los
Angeles' Downtown Arts and Education
Corridor, is home to the USC College of
Letters, Arts and Sciences and many
professional schools. The Health
Sciences Campus, to the northeast of
downtown Los Angeles, is home to the
Keck School of Medicine of USC, the
School of Pharmacy, three major teaching
hospitals and programs in Occupational
Science and Occupational Therapy, and
Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy.
USC also has programs and centers in
Marina Del Rey, Orange County,
Sacramento, Washington, D.C., Catalina
Island, Alhambra and around Southern
California. Childrens Hospital Los
Angeles is staffed by USC faculty from
the Keck School of Medicine and is often
referred to as USC's third campus.
