Enhance Your Education

“Using the library is one of the additional ways in which you can enhance your educational experience. Don’t knock it till you try it! It is best to learn how to use it well. remember, a university library is quite different from a high school library. Very often, professors will place books in the library to be used by the students in the class. Use it…. if you have never gone to the library or learned how to use it, you might be in big trouble.”– SCampus 1973-74

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 pro-grams and classes the university offers. An advisor can help you sort through requirements and introduce interesting options for your program. If you are an undeclared major, a pre-professional student, (law, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy), or a student interested in graduate school, you can meet with advisors at the Office of College Advising. Each school or department also provides academic advisement for graduate students and undergraduate students admitted (or interested in being admitted) to the major.

Advisement Seminars

College Advising offers preparatory seminars each semester to help you plan your undergraduate studies at the university and to prepare for graduate and professional school. Workshop topics offered include:

• Planning for Health Professions (www.usc.edu/pre-health)
• Planning for Law School (www.usc.edu/pre-law)
• Planning for Graduate School (www.usc.edu/pregrad)
