Financial Aid - Applying & Receiving Financial Aid - Undergraduate - Costs USC Estimated Cost of Attendance The USC estimated Cost of Attendance is an average figure used to determine your financial aid eligibility. It includes average amounts for standard expenses- including tuition, fees, books, supplies, room, board and other living expenses- for two semesters of study. Keep in mind that your actual costs may differ. Additionally, estimated budgets for students in some majors may be higher because of special laboratory or studio supply fees, or other additional costs incurred by all students in the program.

The First Year Curriculum During the first year each student takes a required curriculum of basic courses that examines fundamental legal institutions and addresses legal problems relevant to today's society and the modern practice of law. In the fall semester: Law, Language and Values (2 units) introduces students to foundational concepts in legal reasoning, including theories of interpretation, the rule of law, and normative reasoning. Torts (4 units) explores the obligation to refrain from harming others and studies the bases for compensating persons who suffer injuries-either by holding responsible whomever is at fault for the harm, or by invoking other principles of liability, including the efficiency of resource allocation and the spreading of losses. Procedure (4 units) introduces students to the issues of what constitutes fair, adequate and efficient procedures in resolving legal disputes. Contracts (4 units) is a course on the law of consensual arrangements.

Other important info Traveler, the noble white horse that appears at all USC home football games with a Trojan warrior astride, is one of the most famous college mascots. Traveler first made an appearance at USC football games in 1961 in the home opener versus Georgia Tech. Bob Jani, USC's director of special events, and Eddie Tannenbaum, a junior at USC, had spotted Richard Saukko riding his white horse, Traveler I, in the 1961 Rose Parade. They persuaded Saukko to ride his white horse around the Coliseum during USC games, serving as a mascot. Ever since, whenever USC scores, the band plays "Conquest" and Traveler gallops around the Coliseum. Because of poor health, Saukko stopped riding after the 1988 season.
