BA in American Studies and Ethnicity (Asian American Studies) at University of Southern California

Academic Requirements-

To be considered for admission to the University of Southern California (USC) as an undergraduate,
you'll need to have completed the 10th and 12th grade state board or CBSE/ICSE exams.
Competitive applicants typically score highly, often with A1 and A2 grades or scores above 80

Incoming first-year students demonstrate superior academic performance — and the potential to do more. Most admitted students are ranked in the top 10 percent of their graduating class, and their median standardized test score, if submitted, is in the top 5 percent of all test-takers.

Outside of mathematics, no specific curriculum is prescribed or required, though students offered admission typically pursue the most rigorous program available to them in English, science, social studies, foreign language and the arts. Students are expected to have earned a grade of C or better in at least three years of high school mathematics, including Advanced Algebra (Algebra II). Careful attention is paid to preparation for the intended major.

The review is not formulaic — we try to envision your performance at the next level.

We are also looking for your potential to make an impact: willingness to go beyond the requirements, to dig deeply into texts, to explore ideas and become a lifelong learner.

Ultimately, we look for students who will become enthusiastic partners in learning and research.
