Each USC Dornsife student is hand-selected because they bring something entirely unique to our community \u2014 something that makes our community as a whole even stronger.<\/p>\n

No matter what a USC Dornsife student chooses to study, they arrive having already demonstrated an impressive combination of academic excellence, accomplishment, and creativity. Sharing multiple viewpoints, interests, and engagement across backgrounds, our students don’t wait until graduation to grapple with problems in the world that they want to solve.<\/p>\n

When you join our community, you’ll quickly discover that there is no typical USC Dornsife student. And that’s exactly why every one of them belongs here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n
