History
South Carolina State University (SCSU) is a four-year, state-supported, coed, liberal arts institution founded in 1872 as South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Institute. From 1872 to 1895, SCSU existed within the institution of Claflin College. In 1895, the South Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation for the severance of SCSU from Claflin.
SCSU opened independent of Claflin in 1896 as a land-grant institution under the name of the Colored Normal Industrial Agricultural and Mechanical College of South Carolina. The name changed to South Carolina State College in 1954. With an expanded mission to provide programs in advanced study, the school received university status in 1992 and thus adopted its present name.
Traditionally, the College has focused on teacher education, research, and service. As a land-grant institution, SCSU is committed to providing undergraduate instruction that combines liberal arts with vocational education. SCSU is also committed to community service, offering programs related to agriculture as well as adult and continuing education programs.
The sixty-building campus is situated on 160 acres, with a variety of architectural styles. An additional 286 acres are located at Camp Daniel in Elloree, South Carolina. The campus facilities include the Martin Luther King, Jr. Auditorium, Henderson-Davis Theater, Hodge Hall, and Duke Gymnasium and Performing Arts Center, a state-of-the-art facility.
