Hey guys, I was wondering how much does the University of Southern California (USC) usually charge for tuition? Is there any difference in cost for in-state and out-of-state students? Thanks!
USC is a private university, which means that tuition costs are the same for both in-state and out-of-state students. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, housing, and dining, is around $95,225. Tuition alone accounts for approximately $69,904 of this total cost.
Keep in mind that these figures may change slightly from year to year due to inflation and other factors. Additionally, many students receive financial aid to help offset the cost of attendance. USC offers both need-based and merit-based financial aid, which can significantly reduce the cost for qualifying students. To get an estimate of how much financial aid you might be eligible for, you can use USC's Net Price Calculator found on their website.
Don't forget to submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and, if required, the CSS Profile to be considered for financial aid. Remember that applying for financial aid and scholarships can help make attending USC more affordable.
