I am happy to extend greetings from the USC Rossier School of Education. Please enjoy the wealth of information available on our Web site.

It is with confidence and pride that we tell you that the Rossier School is one of the finest schools for graduate studies in education in the entire world. Our mission to strengthen urban education locally, nationally and globally informs everything we do. Our four academic themes of Leadership, Diversity, Learning and Accountability guide our teaching, research and service efforts in pursuit of our mission.

The USC Rossier School of Education is a unique institution of higher learning, where the academic faculty, student body, scholarly research, and breakthrough programs and initiatives are unlike those of any other school of education. We are proud to carry the prestigious banner of USC, which has established itself around the world as a university of the highest quality and value, whose graduates continue to make lasting contributions to our society and our civilization.

As we celebrate our 100th anniversary, we reflect on our success and pay tribute to the thousands of Rossier alumni who have changed lives through their leadership in education. And it inspires us to look toward the future, where Rossier will continue to be at the cutting edge, breaking rules and challenging assumptions in order to assure successful educational outcomes in urban communities and beyond. Thank you for your interest in the USC Rossier School of Education.
