Welcome to the USC Rossier School of Education
Rossier’s mission, impact, and identity are centered on the imperative and the great challenge of achieving equity in America’s schools. Our experts – practitioners, authorities on policy, and top-notch researchers – propose solutions and provide hands-on support to improve educational outcomes, especially among the most underserved schools and communities. Our work is field-based, in the classroom, and online. Rossier faculty and students reflect a diversity of perspectives and experiences. Our goal is to prepare educators who will not just lead, but be change agents, helping to envision and implement the future of education at a time of tremendous complexity and upheaval. We seek the most forward-thinking students, scholars, and researchers at Rossier. We welcome those who want to join our calling and help us make a direct impact on student success in K-12 schools and higher education. That calling has never been more urgent – and achievable – than now.
