The Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences of the University of Southern California expresses its commitment:

To integrate study abroad into the undergraduate curriculum and to send a significant number of its undergraduates abroad for study at some time during their college lives

To continue to develop new international programs, and to increase the range of opportunities for study locations around the world

To maintain traditions of academic excellence in all study abroad programs

To encourage the appropriate foreign language preparation for study abroad

To facilitate both longer term study (semester and year-long programs), as well as summer and other shorter-term programs, including student exchanges and other innovative possibilities for cultural exchange

To integrate study abroad with on-campus academic programs and activities; this includes effective advising, close coordination between international programs and the relevant academic units, and development of relevant extracurricular programs
