Employment

Many college students work part-time during the academic year and summers. Besides earning money to help pay for college expenses and personal needs, working part-time is a great way to gain experience and build your résumé.

Campus Jobs

Numerous jobs are available on campus. Many will require you to have a work-study award, but others are open to students without work-study. You might be a campus tour guide, an office assistant or a computer or science lab assistant. Students can browse or search current job postings through the Career Center at careers.usc.edu. Jobs can also be found through the school’s newspaper, job boards or by word-of-mouth. We encourage USC students to attend the Job Fair held at the beginning of the fall semester, as well.

Federal Work-Study

Federal Work-Study funds are allocated to students with financial need, as determined by a review of the financial aid application. The award amount represents the total wages a student may earn from on- or off-campus employment under the Federal Work-Study program for that academic year.
