The following deadlines indicate when the initial application must be completed.
Faculty-Led Programs
USC faculty members from academic departments across campus organize faculty-led programs which typically focus on a specific subject area or foreign language. These programs typically take place during Winter Session, Spring Break and Summer/Maymester. Program sites and course offerings vary from year to year. These programs typically admit applicants on a rolling basis up until the date listed below, but may fill sooner. After the respective deadline, there is a $50 late charge unless stated otherwise. While all faculty-led students must register with the EAO, each program leader chooses who to enroll in their program and when. If interested in applying to a faculty-led program, please contact the program leader as soon as possible.
