Since 1896, South Carolina State University has maintained a legacy of excellence in education. The campus is located in Orangeburg, SC, 40 miles from the State Capitol at Columbia, 70 miles from Charleston, 140 miles from Myrtle Beach, and 80 miles from Hilton Head - all of which provide easy access to the Atlantic Ocean and other resort amenities. SC State has the only undergraduate environmental science field station in the nation, the only undergraduate degree program in nuclear engineering in South Carolina, and is the only university in South Carolina participating in President Barack Obama's Program (USAID) to provide textbooks and other learning materials to schools in Africa (Zanzibar, Tanzania). We have been home to generations of scholars and leaders in business, military service, government, athletics, education, medicine, science, engineering technology and more. Notable alumni of SC State include James E. Clyburn, Majority Whip for the 111th Congress.
