Core Curriculum

<p>Does USC practice a Core Curriculum? Do we have to end up taking english courses if not a english major or taking a foreign language?</p>

<p>Yes there is a core:</p>

<p>[USC</a> Core > USC College of Letters, Arts, & Sciences](<a href=“http://college.usc.edu/usc-core/]USC”>http://college.usc.edu/usc-core/)</p>

<p>It has a writing requirement, diversity requirement, and then a course from each of the 6 general ed categories. Most majors require some foreign language where as a few do not. You should check the specifics of the major you are interested in.</p>

<p>How can we fit in 6 GE courses in our schedule…do we have to complete them over the first two years?</p>

<p>@majichen - I assume you mean when taking them at your school before transferring? You can only complete Cat I, II, III and V at your school as USC requires you to take cat IV and VI at USC once you transfer.</p>
