Welcome to the University of South Carolina, an institution with more than 200 years of excellence and tradition that continues today.

The Carnegie Foundation has awarded us their highest designation both for research and for providing programs that benefit and engage communities. Only 23 public universites in the nation have that dual distinction.

Our students have won more than 400 national scholarship and fellowship awards--including the Rhodes, Truman, Marshall, Madison, Fullbright, and Goldwater--in recent years. And our faculty members are achieving recognition for their teaching, scholarship, and research.

From our new Honors Residence Hall and band hall/dance studios to our award-winning wellness and fitness center and the excitement of Gamecock athletics, this is a place where learning, living, and growing blend seamlessly.

Thank you for your interest in Carolina.

Harris Pastides, President
