Dornsife Fellows In General Education

Description:

USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences invites applications for our 2025-2027 cohort of Dornsife fellows with a start date of August 16, 2025. Each year Dornsife will admit five fellows, who are appointed for one two-year term during which they teach five General Education seminars per academic year. They are expected to reside in the Los Angeles area during the academic year and to participate in the scholarly life of the Dornsife Ph.D. Academy, the host department, and the university. The salary for fellows is $76,000 per year plus fringe benefits.

The course topics for General Education seminars fall in the areas of Arts, Humanistic Inquiry, Social Analysis, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Quantitative Reasoning. The General Education Program is designed to provide undergraduate students with the interdisciplinary skills and knowledge necessary to meet the challenges of a globalized world and the demands of a satisfying personal life. To benefit the most from the opportunity provided, students reach beyond their comfort zones to engage unfamiliar questions and angles of response and to broaden the range of talents in their intellectual repertoire.
