We’re locally grown and nationally recognized
We were among the first 5 engineering programs in the nation and the first in South Carolina and the state’s first accredited program. Today, we have built a top-25 nationally ranked engineering program, among all institutions where the highest degree is a master’s degree – that is both public and affordable.
