TEA@USC is a student organization at the University of Southern California and part of the larger Themed Entertainment Association. Our goal is to provide educational experiences and professional networking opportunities for students interested in the Themed Entertainment Industry.
What is Themed Entertainment?
Themed Entertainment is centered around the concept of creating “extraordinary experiences”. These experiences are meant to move, transform, and educate, while also creating lifelong memories and bringing people together. Theme parks, museums, and cruise ships are just some of what can be considered as ‘themed entertainment’. The range of projects included in ‘themed entertainment’ design is ever changing due to the constant innovation of the industry.
