History Station: Creating Southern California
When USC was founded, aspiring doctors had to leave Southern California to attend medical school, and future attorneys apprenticed themselves to practicing lawyers. USC began establishing its professional schools as early as 1885 and within two decades was ensconced as the principal educator of professionals in Southern California. This station spotlights each professional school, with special attention to the disciplines in which USC played a pioneering role, including public administration, social work, gerontology and urban planning.
