USC's Strategic Plan encourages undergraduate education as a
key component of the Trojan experience. By providing a
distinctive undergraduate experience built on excellent
liberal arts and professional programs, we aim to create
unique opportunities for career preparation through innovative
collaborations across disciplines. The university's commitment
to becoming the world center for innovative interdisciplinary
research and undergraduate education is reflected in the
emphasis on providing opportunities for students to
participate in research and related scholarly endeavors. Our
academic programs span the spectrum from basic to applied
research with a high degree of societal relevance. This focus
on undergraduate participation in the creation of knowledge is
a principal ingredient of the academic experience at USC.
In addition to formal academic major and minor programs, USC
offers undergraduates an academic life full of opportunities
-- to do research with faculty, to study abroad, to learn by
serving the community and much, more. We know that tomorrow's
leaders will have broad backgrounds in diverse fields. They
will be life-long learners with the ability and passion to
continuously acquire and synthesize knowledge. In short, they
will have both a breadth and a depth of knowledge. Academic
life at USC offers a constellation of opportunity, outlined in
the following links. For those who accept them, there are
challenges here to be seized and shaped for a lifetime of
leadership, intelligent citizenship, and enlightened living.
