Academic Advising
Our academic advisors are full-time professional staff members who meet with you prior to registering for classes each semester to partner with you as you navigate your degree requirements. Academic advisors are assigned to you based on your major, so if you decide to take on a double major or major/minor combination, you will have multiple advisors who will make sure you are staying on track to graduate. Advisors also often provide assistance in learning more about research and/or internship opportunities associated with your major(s) or minor(s).

Pre-Professional Advising
USC Dornsife’s Office of Pre-Health Advisement works with students of any major who are interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare professions. Because there are specific courses that are required for many of the graduate programs that our pre-health students intend to pursue, pre-health advisors work with students and their academic advisors to ensure that all pre-health prerequisites are met. In addition to curriculum planning, pre-health advisors assist students in finding clinical, research, and health-related volunteer opportunities, organize helpful workshops, panels, and events, and work individually with students immersed in the graduate school application process.Pre-professional advising
Pre-law advisors specialize in assisting students with crafting an undergraduate academic program designed to lead to admission to a U.S. law school. They meet individually with students, reviewing personal statements and resumes, and organize events and workshops on various components of the law school application process. Pre-law advisors also sponsor an annual law school fair, bringing a wide range of law school representatives to the USC campus.Pre-professional advising
Pre-graduate school advisors guide students interested in earning a Ph.D. or master’s-level graduate degree. Advisors meet one-on-one with students and organize workshops on admission and application requirements and components. They also offer GRE and GMAT practice exams and organize an annual graduate school fair, which features over 100 graduate schools.
