Students walk around the University of San Diego campus in the sunshine with blue sky

Minh-Ha Hoang
Senior Assistant Director of International Admission

Hi, I'm Minh-Ha, your University of San Diego Admissions Counselor.

I’m excited to be able to represent and advocate for students from the Asia region.

Why USD?
Having earned both of my degrees from USD and worked on campus for nearly three decades, USD has changed the course of my life. I’m especially proud of our top-ranked study abroad program, our commitment to sustainability, and the meaningful work we do to address social justice issues.
