<p>restlessabandon - I was actually seriously considering Narrative Studies but I talked to my English professor about it and even though it’s under the English department, the department is not a huge fan of it (he didn’t really go into detail as to why). I think it’s because it’s so scattered as a major, and to be honest, there aren’t really many job opportunities that come with it. Also a friend of mine who went to go see the advisor learned that only about 8 units outside the college can be counted towards the major. That means you can only take 2 cinema classes, and the rest have to be in the college. The English program at USC is really good, and I think you should stick with it and maybe look into minoring in film or screenwriting! You can always switch to Narrative Studies after you get there and find that you like it better.</p>
