A Message from the President

 

The essential relationship upon which universities are built is the one between student and teacher.

As a world-class research university whose first priority is teaching at all levels, USC offers its students and faculty an unsurpassed environment for conducting the fundamental business of the university — education.

Within its College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, 17 professional schools, and the Graduate School, the University of Southern California merges the breadth of liberal arts studies with the specialization of professional and graduate education. The result is an opportunity for learning that not only venerates tradition but challenges conventional boundaries.

This catalogue is a road map to the diversity of intellectual opportunities available at USC. It is both a comprehensive guide to the university’s academic programs and a testament to aspirations — those of the university and those of its students.

For more than 100 years USC has stood as a crossroads at which curiosity, motivation and aptitude converge with wisdom, resources and vision. The product of that union is an enduring educational legacy in which the possibilities are limited only by imagination.

Steven B. Sample

President
