Cool 1&2 Unit Electives Offered Spring Semester

By: Lauren Brose ‘15

Last year I wrote a blog post highlighting all of the cool, interesting electives that I wish I was able to take during my time at USC. To be honest, my course load was so packed with classes required for graduation, I didn’t get a chance to take advantage of the great electives USC offers.
