Trojan History cartoon
“Founded in a wooden building, surrounded by a wild mustard field, the University of Southern California has grown steadily to become the largest private co-educational university in the West. In 1880, USC was founded to offer higher educational opportunities to the children of the pioneer generation.

“A group of 53 students and ten professors began classes in the two-story frame building. The students paid $12 tuition, received a liberal education, and attended daily chapel services. In 1884 three graduates received their diplomas.” SCampus 1969-70

Academic advisement is important in planning a curriculum that fulfills general education requirements and major requirements, while allowing you to take advantage of the varied programs and classes the university offers. An advisor can help you sort through requirements and introduce interesting options for your program. If you are an undecided/undeclared student or a student interested in graduate school or law school, you can meet with advisors in the Office of College Advising. If you are a student interested in the pre-health professions (medicine, dentistry or allied health field), advisement is available in the Office of Pre-Health Advisement located in the Figueroa Building.

Advisement Seminars

College Advising and the Office of Pre-Health Advisement offer preparatory seminars and workshops each semester to help you plan your undergraduate studies at the university and/or prepare for graduate and professional school. Workshop topics offered include:
