USC grapples with a significant drop in graduate school applications, particularly from international students, across various programs since 2022. The decline, with engineering and business programs hit hardest, has led to a 12% overall decrease in applications for the 2026-2027 academic year. The U.S. governments elimination of the Grad PLUS loan program is a major factor, as it previously allowed grad students to borrow unlimited funds for tuition and living expenses. USC is implementing measures to boost interest and retain top talent, despite concerns about the potential loss of future social workers and teachers due to the loan programs discontinuation.
