I am a graduate of USC's master's program. I would highly recommend this school for graduate work. Despite the fact that I have had a few "difficult" (when I say that, I don't mean the work is hard, it means their personalities are difficult to deal with) professors, I would say the quality of faculty is pretty good. Unfortunately to take a single graduate level class is almost $900, so that makes it pretty expensive. There are grant programs that may be available in certain areas, so I would certainly encourage all to inquire about those.
