College of Charleston is a nationally recognized, public liberal arts and sciences university, distinguished by a small-college feel combined with the advantages and diversity of an urban, mid-sized university. It is among the nation’s top universities for quality education, student life and affordability.

At the College of Charleston, learning is an active, involving experience. Our exceptional faculty cares deeply about their students’ success, and they give them access to experiential learning opportunities that are normally available only at the graduate level.

Since half of a student’s education takes place outside the classroom, College of Charleston encourages everyone to join a club or campus organization, participate in service projects, student media, sport clubs and intramurals, learn to lead, go Greek, and have fun!

The vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Charleston, with its history, culture, architecture and coastal environment, is a living and learning laboratory for our students. The city buzzes with activity, day and night and throughout every season of the year.

The College of Charleston experience will give you the confidence to think creatively, explore new ideas, challenge yourself and be a team player. Our graduates are successful individuals who are knowledgeable, flexible, versatile, confident leaders.
