The mission of the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy is to improve the quality of life for people and their communities, here and abroad.
We achieve this mission through education and research that promote innovative solutions to the most critical issues facing society.
Sol Price Degree Programs: Price School offers five professional master's degree programs, three executive master's degree programs, doctoral programs, and an undergraduate degree program. The five master's level programs – in Public Policy, Public Administration, Urban Planning, Real Estate Development and Health Policy and Management – join theory with practice and emphasize experiential and professional learning. The doctoral programs allow a select group of students to work closely with faculty on important areas of research and scholarly inquiry. Graduate-level students at the Price School have considerable latitude to design their own programs in order to pursue their specialized areas of interest and further their professional development. Undergraduates pursue the Bachelor of Science in Public Policy, Management, and Planning, which builds on a well-rounded liberal arts core with classes and practical training in policy, management, and planning in preparation for either graduate school or the job market. For mid-career professionals, Price School offers the Executive Master of Health Administration, the Executive Master of Leadership, and the International Public Policy and Management program.
