Set in a college town with a beautiful backdrop of lakeshore and mountains, Clemson University attracts students looking for a rigorous academic experience, world-class research opportunities, strong sense of community and vibrant school spirit. We invite you to pursue greatness here.
One of the country's most selective public research universities, Clemson was founded in 1889 with a mission to be a "high seminary of learning" dedicated to teaching, research and service. Today, these three concepts remain at the heart of the University and provide the framework for an exceptional educational experience.
At Clemson, professors take the time to get to know students and explore innovative ways of teaching. Exceptional teaching is one reason our retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country for public universities.
Exceptional teaching is also why Clemson continues to attract an increasingly talented student body.
In 2018, more than half of the entering freshmen were ranked in the top 10 percent of their high school classes, and the freshman class averaged 1308 on the critical reading and math sections of the SAT.
The University is committed to the success of its students. For the fall 2017 class, Clemson's student retention rate was 93 percent. Much of this is due to the Academic Success Center (ASC), which is recognized nationally and internationally for its programs in collegiate learning. The ASC is housed in a 35,000-square-foot facility where it offers free one-on-one tutoring services for more than 80 courses as well as for additional courses as the need arises. Peer-Assisted Learning, academic skills workshops and academic coaching are also available free to all Clemson students.
Clemson has also received national recognition for its innovative Communication Across the Curriculum (CAC) program, which makes writing across all curriculums a priority. At Clemson, CAC has become a standard teaching method used in nearly every department to provide real-life challenges that require students to think and communicate effectively.
From cheering on the Tigers at a football game to socializing at the Hendrix Student Center, Clemson students can participate in a wide variety of activities outside the classroom. The more than 500 campus clubs and organizations include fraternities and sororities, as well as honorary, international, military, performing arts, political, professional, religious, service, social interest, special interest, sports and fitness, and student media.
With 19 intercollegiate sports, Clemson offers exciting spectator sports year-round. Clemson is a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference and is an NCAA Division I school. Admission to regular-season home events is included in University fees for full-time students.
In 2018, the University received about 28,884 applications for a fall freshman class of 3,796.
For freshman applicants, the following factors are considered: class standing, standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), high school curriculum, grades and choice of major. All entering freshmen must have completed 4 credits of English, 3 credits of mathematics, 3 credits of laboratory science, 3 credits of a foreign language (in the same language), 3 credits of social sciences, 1 credit of U.S. history, 1 credit of physical education or ROTC, and 1 credit of fine arts.
To be considered for transfer admission, candidates must have completed a full year of college study (a minimum of 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours of transferable work), earned a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale (3.0 preferred) and completed freshman-level courses in English, science and mathematics for their intended major at Clemson.
Application deadlines for freshman admission are December 1 (priority date for fall semester), May 1 (fall semester) and December 15 (spring semester). For transfer admissions, the application deadlines are July 1 (fall semester) and December 15 (spring semester).

The Calhoun Honors College is a University-wide program that combines the strengths of a public, land-grant university with those of a highly selective small college. Calhoun Scholars may choose to pursue departmental honors within their specific academic discipline. In addition, EUREKA! (Experiences in Undergraduate Research, Exploration and Knowledge Advancement) is a unique and exciting program that enables honors students to pursue research and scholarly activities with faculty members across all disciplines. The advantages of membership in the Honors College include priority registration, extended library loan privileges, honors research grants and a special living-learning community.
The National Scholars Program is a highly selective program for exceptional students who strive to meet their highest intellectual potential. One of its goals is to develop the interests and talents students need to compete for Rhodes, Marshall and Truman scholarships; Fulbright Grants; National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships; and other prestigious international fellowships. In 2017-2018, six Clemson students received National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships. Three recent Clemson graduates received Fulbright grants to conduct research or teach abroad, and two students received honorable mentions for the Goldwater Scholars award.
Clemson's Creative Inquiry (CI) program allows undergraduate students to engage in research about problems that spring from their own curiosity, from a professor's challenge or from the pressing needs of the world around them. Team-based investigations are led by a faculty mentor and typically span two to four semesters. Students take ownership of their projects and take the risks necessary to solve problems and get answers. This invaluable experience produces exceptional graduates, capable of thinking critically, solving problems as a team, and communicating and presenting their ideas to others. In 2017-2018, 4,838 students participated in 414 Creative Inquiry projects.
Programs for Educational Enrichment and Retention
Clemson's nationally recognized Programs for Educational Enrichment and Retention (PEER) is committed to improving the academic performance of underrepresented students in engineering and science. According to a 2016 survey by the magazine Diverse: Issues In Higher Education, Clemson is the nation's 20th highest producer of African-American undergraduates receiving baccalaureate degrees.
Living-learning communities offer the chance for students to live and work with others who have similar interests and goals. There are living options for students interested in business, engineering and science, civics and service, honors courses, professional golf management and much more. Recognized as a national model, the communities are designed to help students be more successful by offering on-site advising and academic support, common course assignments, guest speakers, service opportunities and a variety of social activities.
Majors and Degrees Offered
Students can select from more than 80 undergraduate and 120 graduate degree programs offered by seven colleges: Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; Architecture, Arts and Humanities; Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences; Business; Education; Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences; and Science.

From the moment students set foot on Clemson University's campus in South Carolina, they can sense that they are part of a "community-centered university that truly cares for its students and wants them to succeed." A public research university, Clemson provides "top-notch resources in undergraduate research, while also maintaining an air of Southern hospitality and world-renowned athletics." The university encourages students to "follow [their] passions...[and] challenge [themselves]." Importantly, Clemson undergrads speak quite highly of their professors. For the most part, they prove to be "wonderful" instructors who "want you to succeed and understand the material." Many "go out of their way to help students that need it," and they are usually "easy to reach outside of class for further discussion or advising." Best of all, they tend to be "experts in their fields," and they work diligently to foster "a passion for academia and learning" in their students. As one content undergrad summarizes, "I would say being at Clemson is like celebrating a very happy, successful, and loving family. Every student and faculty member is proud to be here, and we bond over our love for this community very easily."

The Center for Career and Professional Development offers a full schedule of events and workshops throughout the year, including career fairs (for both specialized industries and general employment), mock interviews, career counseling, and meet-ups. Plenty more services are available through the Michelin Career Center. The Clemson Tiger pride extend long beyond graduation, and Clemson's alumni are "very involved with current operations of the University." Alumni are also a major contributor to the high job placement rate. It is common for many past alumni to contact department heads asking specifically for Clemson students to work for their business. "I knew that once I graduate from Clemson I would have no problem getting a job because so many people have heard how wonderful Clemson is," says a student. Of the Clemson University alumni visiting PayScale.com, 51 percent report that they derive a high level of meaning from their jobs.

At Clemson, school spirit is a color—Solid Orange—and it's hard to miss on fall Saturdays in Death Valley when more than 80,000 fans cheer on the Clemson Tigers. Take a walk through campus on any night, and you'll see the campus alive with students playing intramural sports, going to concerts, attending Greek mixers or gathering to meet with any of Clemson's 500+ student organizations.

Imbued with a "ton of school spirit," Clemson students are united by their "share[d] pride of being a Tiger." Indeed, a common sentiment among undergrads here is that "we are a family and we help each other out whenever we can." More specifically, students describe their peers as "caring," "engaged, and involved." And many express simultaneous appreciation and disbelief that "everyone seems to always have a smile on their face." Undergrads here also seem to truly "value their education." They "work hard in order to do well and prove to themselves that they earned their spot at Clemson." Of course, some individuals do caution that the population is "mostly white, Southern students who dress and behave similarly." Others insist that "diversity" abounds. After all, you will find undergrads from all fifty states and around the globe. Fortunately, they're "incredibly friendly and welcoming" no matter an individual's background. Perhaps this satisfied student says it best: "Clemson is where people hold doors open for you even if you're very far away, where one person's chant gets hundreds of others to join, and where you can pull up a chair to a random person with the same textbook as you and ask them for help on your final."
Clemson University is located in Clemson, S.C., a town of about 14,000 located in the middle of the I-85 corridor between Atlanta, Ga., and Charlotte, N.C. The 1,400-acre campus is next door to the S.C. Botanical Garden and borders the shores of Hartwell Lake and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Fike Recreation Center
Fike is a 200,000-square-foot recreation center that features a fitness atrium complete with a suspended running track that overlooks the indoor courts. It's also equipped with indoor swimming facilities, fitness studios, racquetball courts, state-of-the-art cardio equipment, weights, locker rooms and a climbing wall.
Redfern Health Center provides medical services, counseling and psychological services, and health-related programs like alcohol and drug education. It's one of the nation's few on-campus accredited health centers.
Hendrix Student Center
The Hendrix Student Center is the hub of campus activity and is located a step away from most housing. Here you can find people taking a yoga class or enjoying a meal at the food court. It's home to the University bookstore and offers plenty of quiet places to stop and study. It also has a movie theater, ice cream parlor and much more.
Located within a 10to 15-minute walk to class, Clemson's 23 residence halls and four apartment communities offer a vast selection of living arrangements.
The University's wireless networking capability lets students communicate with professors and classmates, read online course materials, check email and conduct research all from their own laptops.
Watt Family Innovation Center
The Watt Family Innovation Center offers a collaborative environment where students can engage with faculty and industry leaders to generate ideas and solve problems. Engineering and technology feature prominently in the 70,000-square-foot space for teaching and research, from the two-story media grid and moveable electronic walls to the lights that automatically sense when someone is in a room.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Clemson students are strongly encouraged to incorporate a study-abroad experience in their overall Clemson journey. Programs are available on six continents for all disciplines and interests. These include faculty-led programs, exchange programs and programs available through Clemson's partnerships with study-abroad providers and institutions. Students in a variety of majors also have opportunities at Clemson campuses in South Carolina and around the world, including the Archbold Center in Dominica; the Daniel Center in Genoa, Italy; and the Brussels Center in Belgium.
The Cooperative Education program provides an opportunity for students to alternate periods of academic study with semesters of paid, career-related, engaged-learning experiences to bridge the gap between academic study and its application in professional practice. Clemson's career center pairs about 2,200 students annually with companies seeking interns or co-op students. Internships are also available on campus where students can work part or full-time, with many in full-time positions having the option of earning credit. The Princeton Review ranks Clemson's career services program as the No. 5 career office in the nation.
An important aspect of Clemson is its dedication to improving the world through public service. In a typical year, Clemson students contribute over 100,000 service hours, earning the University national recognition on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. Opportunities to make a difference are available through student service organizations, ongoing service projects and one-time service events on campus, in the community, across the nation or around the world. The 2015 National Survey on Student Engagement reports that 61 percent of first-year Clemson students and 94 percent of seniors said "at least some" of their courses included high-impact practices such as service-learning.

Clemson offers students a myriad of opportunities for fun and excitement. To begin with, fall weekends are dedicated to football. Indeed, "everyone spends all Saturday tailgating before the game [as] getting there before the team runs down the hill is important." Additionally, when time and weather permit, many Clemson undergrads enjoy getting outside. For example, "lots of students hang out on Bowman Field, kayak in Lake Hartwell, or hike the surrounding mountains." Further, the "Botanical Gardens are right on campus and have beautiful hiking trails" as well. A number of individuals can also be found kicking back at the "underground rec center [which offers] bowling, ping pong, and other arcade games." And, as you might have suspected, "there are also...many clubs and organizations that are always holding events." Most students enjoy attending "movie nights and game nights" and playing for "intramural teams." And "there are usually different Greek life events going on at all times of the year that many people participate in" too. Once the weekend rolls around, a number of undergrads "go to parties (either frat parties or just in off-campus apartments) or they go to the bars downtown." After all, "the downtown area, within [a] walkable distance to campus, has a ton of good restaurants" to boot.
