USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences

he College is the liberal arts center of the University of Southern California, teaching

more than 10,000 undergraduates. It offers instruction in the humanities, the natural Tsciences and the social sciences, leading to bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees. The programs of the college provide both a broad liberal arts education and a thorough grounding in an academic discipline. The breadth is in the general education program and in the electives; the specializations are in departmental majors, interdisciplinary majors, and special pro- grams and minors.

The college offers many opportunities for post-baccalaureate study. Graduate programs within the college leading to the master of arts, master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees are administered through the USC Graduate School.

The college combines two “worlds” — the world of the self-contained liberal arts school, with small classes and close working relationships between students and faculty, and the larger world of the research university, where new ventures and new ideas are being explored. Together they make the college a supportive and exciting place to learn. The college combines the attributes of a self- contained liberal arts school and a research university to offer students an opportunity to develop close working relationships with faculty and to explore new ventures and ideas. 164 USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
