Computer-based information systems facilitate, enable and often define the relationships between corporations and consumers, buyers and suppliers, businesses of all sizes, social networks, and citizens and their governments. Understanding these relationships and effectively addressing the collection, flow and distribution of information is vital to the effectiveness of any modern organization, enterprise or government agency.

The BA in Informatics is granted under the jurisdiction of the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Students complete 128 units, including at least 70 units of courses in the USC Dornsife College and at least 40 units of courses in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. Units completed in the USC Dornsife College include the general education and writing requirements, the USC Dornsife College foreign language requirement and an adviser-approved disciplinary specialization of at least 24 units.

This specialization can consist of courses constituting another departmental or interdepartmental major for the BA degree, permitting students to satisfy most or all of the requirements for a double major. See Undergraduate Degree Programs for rules governing the overlap of course allowed for a double major.

The program teaches students to understand, design and implement effective solutions to meet organizational, societal and management needs for information and decision support.

Data Science – Comprehending the ever-growing importance of “big data” in scientific and policy endeavors. Extracting knowledge from data requires skill in multiple areas including mathematics, statistics and information technology.

In addition to the core courses and concentration area, students complete at least 24 units of courses in an adviser-approved area of disciplinary specialization relying on course work in the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. The disciplinary specialization must form a coherent focus on a discipline that provides students with insight into a domain in which informatics can be usefully applied.
