South Carolina State University

South Carolina State University (SCSU) is South Carolina’s only public, historically African-American four year university (HBCU), and that is not all that’s outstanding and unique about it. Located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, SCSU offers undergraduate programs in Engineering, Education, English and Modern Languages, Health Sciences, and Visual and Performing Arts, among others. At the graduate level, one may obtain a master’s in everything from Business to Speech Therapy. SCSU also offers a number of degrees not found anywhere else in the state or the nation. Among these are SCSU’s degrees in Nuclear Engineering, not offered anywhere else in the U.S., and its MBA in Agribusiness, the only one of its kind in South Carolina. Academics are not all that set SCSU apart. SCSU also has learning and research centers devoted to different areas of study, like the Center for Transportation Research and the Museum and Planetarium. Counseling, health, career and academic services are all available for students, whether or not they live on campus. There are also numerous organizational, athletic and community service opportunities intended to enhance what’s learned in the classroom and build skills and life-long relationships. SCSU offers a large number of financial aid resources and options for its students, all of which are posted on its detailed and comprehensive website.
