Graduate School At The University Of South Carolina

The Graduate School at the University of South Carolina is a service unit committed to enhancing the experience of graduate students and the faculty and staff with whom they work. We provide timely, consistent, and accurate information; adapt and enforce meaningful policies to ensure academic integrity; track student success; and build bridges across campus and community as we showcase our diverse and talented graduate student body. The Graduate School serves more than 6,900 graduate students, hailing from across our state, the nation, and the world. We work with faculty and staff to enrich the graduate student experience and promote the importance and value of graduate education. UofSC graduate students study in 70 doctoral programs, 133 master’s programs, 25 certificate programs, and 24 dual degree programs. The Graduate School provides administrative services for these programs and promotes and protects academic excellence and integrity. In our efforts to build on our community of engaged scholars and professionals, and to further heighten UofSC’s reputation as a top-ranked graduate institution, we also fund strategic awards—such as recruitment fellowships and travel grants—and design collaborative initiatives to enhance the professional and academic development of our students.
