About The University The history of the University of South Carolina Upstate is a chronicle of remarkable development. In 1967, the University was founded primarily to avert a serious health care labor shortage crisis when Spartanburg General Hospital announced plans to eliminate its diploma program for registered nurses. The Spartanburg Regional Campus, as it was first known, opened its doors in the fall of 1967 to 177 students on the first floor of the Spartanburg General Hospital nursing residence. Enrollment continued to increase, which resulted in the school becoming a four-year university in 1975 and being renamed the University of South Carolina Spartanburg. During the next 20 years, the campus began to take physical shape with the construction of additional academic buildings. Enrollment continued to grow and degree offerings were expanded. In 2004, the University changed its name to USC Upstate to include its campus in Greenville and to recognize the continued expansion of partnerships and services across the I-85 corridor. USC Upstate has grown into one of the leading metropolitan universities in the Southeast. This growth has been a direct response to the needs of the Upstate—a tradition that began with the University’s creation. The University has expanded well beyond nursing to include 40 bachelor’s programs in the liberal arts, sciences, business, and teacher education. Master’s programs are offered in education, informatics and nursing. Today, USC Upstate boasts a diverse student enrollment of 5,500, with students from 36 states and 51 nations, and an alumni base of more than 21,500, of which 85 percent remain in the Upstate to build their lives and careers. The USC Upstate Advantage The history and location of USC Upstate, together with the commitment, energy and talents of its faculty, staff and students, have earned the University a number of distinctive advantages. Among these, the University’s excellence as a teaching institution and its character as a metropolitan university, are pervasive. Other distinctive advantages include: • The only public, four-year teaching sector institution in the Upstate accessible to nearly one million residents • A reputation for teaching excellence and rigor in academic standards through comprehensive use of faculty members with terminal degrees in the classrooms • Strong support services for student learning including advising excellence, tutoring and skills laboratories, and learning communities engaging the freshman class • Traditional and leading-edge academic programs at the undergraduate level and opportunities for increased specialization at the master's level • Interactive use of technology in teaching and learning • Center of cultural activity through music, art and theatre programs • A strong Division I athletics program with a demonstrated commitment to academic excellence, competitiveness, fiscal responsibility, NCAA compliance and gender equity • Dynamic partnerships and resources from public and private support and grants • Promotes global perspectives across its programs, and, supporting the regional employment objectives of most of its students, provides extensive experiential learning opportunities • Graduates in large numbers who build their careers in the Upstate, benefiting from and contributing to the strong regional economy, and an increasing number of alumni of regional prominence and influence The University of South Carolina does not discriminate in educational or employment opportunities or decisions for qualified persons on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
