The history of the University of South Carolina Upstate is a chronicle of remarkable development. In 1967, the university was founded in response to efforts undertaken by G.B. Hodge, M.D., together with fellow members of the Spartanburg County Commission for Higher Education, and a remarkably strong founding faculty primarily to avert a serious health care labor shortage crisis.
The Research Symposium provides an opportunity for both faculty and students from primarily undergraduate institutions throughout the Upstate of South Carolina to discuss and share information regarding their research, scholarly and/or creative endeavors.
Research is conducted at USC Upstate in diverse areas of study. The Office of Sponsored Awards and Research Support (SARS) serves as a point of contact for faculty, staff and students who are seeking assistance with their research and scholarly endeavors on campus.
The Office of Student Involvement is a central hub for extra-curricular and co-curricular involvement for the campus. We oversee such programs and initiatives as Student Organizations, Leadership Programs, Campus Programs/Activities, Multicultural Programs, Fraternity & Sorority Life, and Volunteer Services. Our Office strives to provide three outcomes that center around students’ sense of belonging, experiences that support intrapersonal identity development and experiences that support a student’s interpersonal and professional skill development.
With more than 60,000 square feet, the USC Upstate Library has more than 240,000 print volumes that can be requested for pick-up as well as online e-books for 24/7 use. The library has 342 online databases with articles that can be accessed 24/7 for any subject research need.

Great school! I attended UOFSC for graduate school so I can't say much on certain accommodations but I have been the the gym facility and it is very nice. A lot of good restaurants around campus for students to go to. Also great faculty!
USC is decent for the most part. There are a lot of students in each class so if you prefer more one on one learning, this might not be the place for you as sometimes it does get difficult to keep up. The food options are honestly the worst part of the school, there's only a few good places to eat on campus.
Parking on campus needs to be drastically improved. Nearly impossible to find parking near student housing or classrooms let alone finding a parking lot to leave car over the week. Garage parking somewhat improves upon parking availability but costs $400/semester.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2025. Universities with a score above 4.0 (out of 5) in any of the 7 award categories, receive Badges of Excellence. Congratulations!
