FOUR REASONS TO MAJOR IN ENGLISH AT USC!

• The cultural cross-fertilization and creative energy that make Los Angeles one of the world’s great international cities also provide the inspiration for USC English. 

• Our program complements the rich historical swath of British, American, and Anglophone literatures that traditionally constitutes academic study with the literary cultures of the US-Mexican border, the larger sphere of Latin America, the African diaspora, the Pacific Rim, and the circum-Atlantic world.

• The broad reach of the program is likewise reflected in the central place Creative Writing occupies on both undergraduate and graduate levels. 

• English’s award-winning faculty has made a reputation for itself nationally for its embrace of diverse theoretical approaches and its encouragement of interdisciplinary studies.
