GMAT or GRE Score Report – Test scores are optional.
Upload unofficial copies (examinee score report or test-day printout) into your online application. Note: You must either upload your score report into the application or provide the intended future test date in the appropriate field in the application.
TOEFL or IELTS Score Report
All candidates must possess and demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively in oral and written English.
International graduate applicants are therefore expected to demonstrate their proficiency in English as part of the application process and should carefully review the USC POLICY.
U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents (such as green card holders) are considered to be “domestic” applicants, regardless of where they have studied or reside. Domestic applicants are exempt from the university’s English-proficiency requirements.
TOEFL or IELTS exams must be taken within 24 months of the date of application submission. Upload unofficial copies (examinee score report or test-day printout) in the appropriate area below. Important: Please register to have the testing service(s) forward USC the official school test report no later than the deadline for the admissions round within which you are applying. Failure to do so will result in your application being shifted to a subsequent admissions round.
Submitting Official Test Scores
All candidates will need to submit official test scores (provided to USC by the testing service). To save time, applicants should, at the time of test registration, have the testing service(s) forward the official, confidential school report using the following institution codes:
GMAT: 389-9C-23
GRE: 4852
TOEFL: 4852
IELTS: Choose “University of Southern California, Graduate Programs.” Do not enter the name and contact information of your specific intended graduate department. USC will only accept electronic IELTS scores. Paper scores are not considered official.
