The Dornsife Difference
With nearly 200 majors and minors, USC Dornsife encourages students to explore their interests in our three academic clusters: humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.
In addition to providing students with an academic advisor based on their major and minor, students may also use pre-health, pre-law, and pre-graduate school advising services, all of whom work together to help prepare students for life after USC.
Student Spotlight
This month, we’re excited to celebrate Miguel Mercado, a senior at USC pursuing a double major in Physics and Mathematics. Over the years, Miguel has excelled in both fields while also engaging in meaningful research. His hard work inside and beyond the classroom has been recognized with the prestigious Astronaut Scholarship from the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.
Miguel has made the most of his time at USC, gaining hands-on experience that complements his academic pursuits. He has conducted research and led projects about theoretical condensed matter physics, using mathematics and modeling to understand the behavior of materials like metals and magnets.
Looking ahead, Miguel hopes to pursue a doctorate in physics and eventually become a professor with his own research lab. He is dedicated to creating opportunities for underrepresented minorities in the field. We’re excited to see where Miguel’s talents take him next. Fight on!
