The USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences is the academic core of the University of Southern California. Our diverse community works across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, exploring fundamental questions about who we are, how the world works, and what we can do to improve and enrich society.
Our faculty push the boundaries of knowledge and equip students with lifelong learning skills that enable them to overcome challenges of extraordinary social and technical complexity. Beyond the classrooms and laboratories, our scholars work hand-in-hand with leaders in the public and private sectors — bringing new ways of thinking to projects that call for their expertise.
Some of the most talented students in the world are attracted to USC Dornsife for its innovative courses and customizable degree programs. And because they are not content to wait until graduation to make an impact, every undergraduate takes part in hands-on experiential learning that converts thought to action.
Our USC Dornsife community values the insight we gain from our position in one of the most dynamic and diverse cities on Earth. Los Angeles is where cultures integrate, ideas are born, and trends are set. It is a place where global issues are expressed locally, allowing us to innovate the solutions here first.
The future belongs to creative thinkers. At the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, we enable their creativity to flourish.
