USC SUMMER SEMINARS
Overview
The Summer 2009 application period has closed. We hope you will apply next year!
The USC Summer Seminars represent the breadth of disciplines at the University of Southern California (USC). Studying in the same classrooms & laboratories and dining in the same facilities as USC undergraduates, students view university life from the inside. Residential students get an extra “taste of college life” by living in freshman dormitories. All students benefit from personal academic support of faculty, teaching staff, and residential counselors in the positive learning environment fostered at an internationally recognized research university.
Seminars teach art in the context of performance and science in the context of contemporary problem solving. Each seminar is designed to be interactive, engaging and challenging, allowing students to explore new areas of study or build on knowledge from their high school courses. Intended to give students a foretaste of college academic life, each course awards three (3.0) units of University credit. These elective units can be used towards an undergraduate degree at USC or transfer to other colleges and universities.
