About Clubs

Why Join a Club?

Joining a club opens up many opportunities and allows for a balance between academic life and extra-curricular activities. With more than 200 clubs to choose from, there is something for everyone! Last year, more than 15,000 students joined at least one club! The easiest way to get involved with a club is during Clubs Week, which takes place in September each year. Clubs Week showcases all of the clubs and provides students with the opportunity to learn more about the opportunities available with each club. If you miss out on Clubs Week, don’t fret! You can now view and connect with clubs on the USC NOW app. Just check out the Clubs Corner feature!
