USC AikenThe Aiken area has long been a social and cultural mecca. In 1900, Aiken rivaled Palm Beach as a Southern resort, and even today its gracious homes, lush gardens, and major equestrian events are testimonies to a still vital winter colony. Out of this setting has grown the University of South Carolina Aiken, established as a branch campus in 1961. In 1972 USCA moved to its present 453-acre campus. In 1976 USCA offered its first four-year degrees and became a senior institution. In 1984 the library doubled in size and a seven-building student housing complex opened. The Etherredge Center, a multimillion-dollar complex for the fine and performing arts, completed in January 1986, has become the cultural hub of Aiken County. The Science Building was completed in 1989 and the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center in 1991. A $10.1 million building for the Schools of Business and Education opened in the fall of 1994. The Ruth Patrick Science Education Center and the Walter F. O’Connell Economic Enterprise Institute are indicative of USCA’s leadership in science education and the development of business community relationships. Student enrollment has reached 3,173 undergraduates and the teaching faculty numbers 125. USCA currently offers 18 baccalaureate degrees and two associate’s degrees. In fall 1995, USC Aiken offered its first graduate program, the Master’s of Education in Elementary Education. The present list of degree programs is as follows: Degree Programs OfferedAssociate in Science in Nursing
