Who is my Advisor?  

Academic Advisors

The USC Viterbi School of Engineering consists of academic departments, and each department has an advisor designated specifically for students in that major. There are also advisors specifically for freshmen and undeclared engineering students that help students acclimate to the advisement process. The charts below list these advisors and their contact information.  Please note that current freshmen should contact their designated advisor in RTH 110, not the department advisor. For more information review the FYE website
