The USC Cambridge Programme is geared toward students who have demonstrated academic excellence and a continuous love of learning.  This program is named in honor of Dean Joan Metcalf Schaefer, Dean of Women Emerita, of the University of Southern California.
 
The International Summer School in Cambridge, England, offers students an excellent opportunity to study British literature, art, history, economics, poetry, and international relations, and to examine the background of modern Britain and its rich and diverse cultural heritage.
