Independent Domestic Study Away Programs
Students go on domestic exchanges for all types of reasons including, but not limited to:
- Taking courses not available on their home campuses
- Enhancing personal growth and independence,
- Spending time in a different region,
- Immersing themselves in diverse cultural settings,
- Investigating graduate and professional schools,
- Exploring or engaging in research,
- Exploring career options
- Participating in an internship
The Office of Student Engagement has worked with academic departments at USC to approve the listed programs as suitable options for USC students to take part in. These programs are not run by USC, but have been identified as appropriate partner programs that can be beneficial for students. More often than not, students who participate in these programs pay tuition and fees directly to that program, not USC.
