University of South Carolina Aiken

The University of South Carolina, the state’s flagship university which was founded in Columbia in 1801, began offering courses in Aiken for students interested in completing their degrees in Columbia. UofSC Aiken became the fourth campus founded of the eight that would eventually comprise the USC System.  

UofSC Aiken provides bachelor’s and master’s degrees in over 50 programs of study while delivering many of the offerings of a large university on a small, friendly campus with intimate class sizes and personal attention. The commitment to continuing partnerships is woven into the fabric of the campus’ culture.

At UofSC Aiken, there are many opportunities for students and faculty to connect through research. Whether it be collaborating on a biological study or conducting a research project in psychology, students and faculty are working together to make new discoveries.
