On-Campus Admission Events

USC Thornton Undergraduate Admission Information Sessions | Offered most Fridays

Join a representative from the USC Thornton Office of Admission for an overview of the USC Thornton undergraduate experience and application process.  First-year and transfer prospective students are encouraged to attend as the session will focus on undergraduate music degrees.

USC Office of Admission Undergraduate Events | Various days and times

Prospective undergraduate students are also invited to reserve a student-led or self-guided USC campus tour.  Student-led tours are hosted by current undergraduate USC students who will provide a general overview of the university.  We are unable to offer tours specifically of the Thornton School, but we do encourage prospective students to attend a USC campus tour as a wonderful way to learn about all that USC has to offer and see the beautiful campus.  For more information about USC campus tour options, click here.
