Campus Tours
Walking Tours are student led tours that give guests a glimpse of our vibrant campus life. Our tours are approximately 50 minutes long and cover USC’s history, architecture, academic departments and programs, general admission information and current student life. Campus Tours generally run Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. and will not be canceled due to weather conditions. Tours leave from the Admission Center and depart on the hour. Reservations are strongly recommended. Please note that our tours do not go into the dormitory buildings and weekend tours are not available.

This comprehensive campus visit program is designed for juniors and seniors in high school and their families. The program lasts three hours and includes a one-hour information session by one of our admission counselors, a one-hour walking tour led by a current USC student and a one-hour information session with the School of Architecture.
Please note that the third hour is based on the availability of the department and is subject to change. When this does occur we will make every effort to contact you to either reschedule or help you select another department. This program is available most Mondays and Wednesdays at 9 a.m. & 1 p.m. and Fridays at 9 a.m. & noon.
As a reminder this program is only available to high school juniors and seniors who have not been admitted, and not for transfer students.
