I'm in the process of researching colleges to apply to and am wondering if the University of Southern California is a private or public university. Can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks!
USC, the University of Southern California, is a private research university. It's a well-known institution, particularly for its strong programs in film, business, engineering, and more. As a private university, USC tends to have higher tuition costs compared to public universities in the state. However, it's important to consider financial aid packages, which can vary among institutions and help offset the expenses. Good luck with your college search!
