Life as a Graduate Student

In this section of the handbook you will find information on the non-academic and non-institutional aspects of being a graduate student.  Basically, these are resources for the challenge of living and thriving as a graduate student in the History Department at USC.

New Students F.A.Q. – This page will provide a quick run-down of the information every graduate student should know on entering the History Department at USC.  This is great place to go before directing your questions elsewhere (though faculty, staff, and students are always happy to help).

Finances – Graduate work imposes its own set of peculiar expenses.  You will find significant opportunities for funding along the way to offset some of that expense.  In this section you will find basic information about graduate student incomes and expenses at USC.

Online Resources – Here we have provided a set of links and descriptions for web resources available to you as a student at USC.  All those referenced in other parts of the handbook are included here in order to create a one-stop source for all your linking needs.
