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
Wofford College
Wofford College, founded in 1854, is one of the smallest liberal arts colleges to maintain a Division I athletic program, and the school's football team's surprising 2019 undefeated regular season run drew significant national attention given the college's tiny overall enrollment relative to most Division I competitors. The college's Presidential International Scholars Program funds a substantial international study experience for a select group of incoming students, reflecting Wofford's broader institutional emphasis on global engagement despite its small size and rural South Carolina setting. Wofford's endowment per student ranks among the highest of any small liberal arts college in the South, funding substantial financial aid and campus development relative to the college's modest overall enrollment of around 1,700 students. The college's combination of a genuinely selective, well-resourced small liberal arts education and its unusual commitment to maintaining Division I athletics despite its small size has made Wofford a distinctive choice among South Carolina's private colleges.
