Furman University
Furman University, founded in 1826, is consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the South, and its 750-acre Greenville campus, built around a lake and formal Italian-style gardens, is frequently cited as one of the most attractive small college campuses in the country. The university's engaged learning curriculum, requiring every student to complete substantial research, internship, or community-engagement experience tied directly to their academic coursework, reflects Furman's deliberate institutional emphasis on translating liberal arts study into concrete practical experience. Furman's location in Greenville, one of the fastest-growing small cities in the Southeast with a significant concentration of international manufacturing investment, gives students access to internship opportunities within a genuinely dynamic regional economy uncommon for a small liberal arts college town. The university's historical Baptist affiliation, formally severed in the early 1990s over disagreements about academic freedom, reflects Furman's evolution from a more traditionally denominational college into a broader nonsectarian liberal arts institution while retaining much of its historic campus character.
VS
College of Charleston
The College of Charleston, founded in 1770, is among the oldest colleges in the country, and its campus, integrated directly into Charleston's historic downtown district, gives students a genuinely unique setting among American public universities, surrounded by centuries-old architecture within one of the country's most historically significant cities. The college's marine biology program benefits directly from Charleston's coastal location, and the school's business and arts management programs have built solid regional reputations, reflecting the college's broader academic growth beyond its historical roots as a small liberal arts institution. CofC's historic campus, featuring numerous antebellum-era buildings integrated into the working city around it, has made the college one of the most frequently cited "beautiful campus" honorees among American universities, an aesthetic distinction tied directly to its genuine historic preservation. The college's combination of a rare, centuries-old urban historic campus and its growing academic programs in marine science and business has made College of Charleston a distinctive choice among South Carolina's public universities, particularly for students drawn to its unusual historic downtown setting.
