USC Thornton School of Music

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, founded in 1884 and dedicated in 1999, is one of the premiere music schools on the West Coast. Founded only four years after the University itself, the Thornton school is located in the heart of the USC University Park Campus, south of downtown Los Angeles.

The school gets its name in honor of a $25 million gift by Flora L. Thornton in 1999. At the time, this was the largest donation to a school of music in the United States.

Thornton is one of two universities in the country to offer an undergraduate program in Music Industry. Thornton is also one of four schools in the country that offers a graduate program in Music Industry.
