The Academy Effect

Providing a collaborative creative environment that brings together multidisciplinary students, faculty and professional mentors, the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation has become a transformational presence on one of the nation’s most dynamic university campuses. The Academy prepares its students to address some of the world’s most intractable problems through a unique and groundbreaking integration of core disciplines, and by facilitating an individual’s ability to engage differently and successfully with a dramatically changing, tech-driven global marketplace. Academy graduates are empowered to follow their creative passions into any field or industry, and to be vehicles for positive change wherever they go.
