History

[edit]

After the Spartanburg General Hospital decided to discontinue its degree program for nurses, local politicians, led by G.B. Hodge, decided to create a separate university for the region. In 1967 theSpartanburg Regional Campus was opened as a two-year college with an initial enrollment of 177 students. Because of increased popularity, the school became a four-year institution in 1975 and was renamed theUniversity of South Carolina Spartanburg. During the following years, both the campus and the scope of the University expanded.

In the summer of 2004 USC's board of trustees voted to change the name to theUniversity of South Carolina Upstate to better reflect its mission to educate the people of South Carolina's upstate region. It has become the largest educational provider in the University Center Greenville, a consortium of seven institutions of higher learning inGreenville, South Carolina, and the immediate surrounding area.
