USC Capital Campus

Building on USC’s strengths as one of the nation’s leading universities for ideas, research, and innovation, the USC Capital Campus brings faculty, students, alumni, experts, and thought-leaders together to forge critical partnerships and address the nation’s most pressing issues and opportunities. Through convenings, collaborations, and programs in its vibrant space, the Capital Campus accelerates and amplifies Trojan excellence, and plants USC’s flag on the national stage.
An Immersive Platform for Learning and Discovery
From public policy and political science, to arts and engineering, USC students have the opportunity to live, study and learn in the nation’s capital. The Capital Campus is home to many programs for both undergraduate and graduate students, preparing them for success with immersive and unique experiences they can only have in Washington, D.C. In addition, the Capital Campus is USC’s DC headquarters for four research institutes – including the USC Shoah Foundation – and works with USC faculty and researchers to accelerate the influence and impact of USC’s experts across topics like health policy, combating antisemitism, and supporting veterans policy and research.
An East Coast Home for Lifelong Connections
The USC Capital Campus is an embassy for Trojans to meet, gather and stay engaged for life. Here, students and alumni develop a strong sense of community through opportunities to network, collaborate, learn and engage. Whether attending a lecture, participating in a workshop, or enjoying an event, the Capital Campus provides a welcoming environment that celebrates the traditions and spirit – and celebrates the expertise - of the Trojan Family.
