Commencement at USC

USC Commencement is a weeklong celebration honoring the achievements of our graduating students and officially welcoming them into the Trojan Family as alumni. Throughout the week, every academic school hosts its own ceremony, offering graduates the chance to celebrate with their classmates, hear from distinguished speakers, and walk across the stage to be personally recognized. In addition to the individual academic ceremonies, the university hosts a school-wide celebration at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which features the official conferall of degrees, a keynote address and much more.

We look forward to seeing you on this milestone occasion. Congratulations to all the members of the Class of 2026!
