Azimuth ranks University of Southern California #86 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions — in the 94.3rd percentile for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects both the institution's selectivity and its enrollment of Pell-eligible and first-generation students at a scale typical for private research universities. The six-year graduation rate is 91.8%, with 86.4% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window.
Azimuth ranks University of Southern California #72 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions — in the 95.2nd percentile for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn median earnings of $97,700 on a historical 10-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 99.2nd percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The university's location in Los Angeles and strength in business programs contribute to these outcomes, though the Pell share suggests the mobility impact reaches a narrower student group than at institutions with broader access.
