USC Graduate School

USC deeply values the contributions that graduate students make to its research and teaching missions, and we are proud to provide firsthand experiences that serve as excellent preparation for a range of career outcomes. The University remains steadfast in its commitment to support, mentor and prepare graduate students for future success.

Our commitment to our students carries over into our negotiations with the Graduate Student Workers Organizing Committee – United Auto Workers (GSWOC-UAW). We encourage all graduate students to use this site to learn as much as they can about the topics under negotiation and the facts behind the proposals.
