Clemson University is a nationally ranked public land-grant university that has been at the top of the rankings for 13 consecutive years. We are classified among the most active research institutions as an R1 research university by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, and currently we offer 80+ undergraduate majors and 130+ graduate degree programs. Our students are highly engaged, spirited, competitive and eager to lend a hand to their peers. They consistently rank among the nation's happiest and most innovative students who want to give back to the college they love. Clemson offers a hands-on teaching and learning environment with impactful academic, community service and social opportunities. From the stadium to the classroom to the research lab, Tigers work and play to win. The academic programs here are robust and rigorous, attracting the country's top faculty as well as students from around the world. A new journey and a new path begins here at Clemson where we work together to change lives, change perception and, through our work, change the world. Our sports teams are unmatched in every measurable way. As a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Clemson features 19 NCAA athletic teams. The three-time National Champion Clemson Tigers football team won two of those in three years (2016, 2018) and continues to rank among the best each season. The newest varsity sport, Clemson softball, has wowed opponents with national rankings out of the gate, and our teams and players enjoy consistent success on the field and in the classroom. Admission to regular-season events on campus is included in University fees for full-time students in every sport. Clemson University is defined by the flexibility of learning here. Here, students pursue a calling and graduate with the expertise needed to make a difference. All undergraduate students are encouraged to take part in collaborative research opportunities to grow critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as hone their communication abilities. Our 16-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio is among the best for public universities in the country offering direct learning and regular communication between each. We are also constantly updating Clemson's beautiful campus with state-of-the-art learning facilities including the new Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business building. We continue to be nationally ranked for our internship programs and boast multiple opportunities in service learning, cooperative education and studying abroad. We encourage all students to get involved on campus and in the community; more than 500 student clubs and organizations are available for every interest. That engagement makes leaders of our students and reinforces their Clemson Journey as 89 percent of seniors say they would choose us if they started the college experience again. Clemson's campus is tucked in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the shores of Lake Hartwell. Space abounds with 17,500 acres of Experimental Forest land that includes hundreds of miles of recreational trails and access to hiking, biking, sailing, swimming, kayaking and more. While we have a small-town feel of community and safety, urban living is right around the corner. A 30-mile drive takes you to Greenville, South Carolina, one of the fastest-growing communities in the country. And with Clemson just off I-85, you are only two hours away from Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia. Clemson is a high-value institution with top-ranked career services and a reputation for making an impact locally and globally. The quality of life and quality of education here rivals any in the country for return on investment and our renowned alumni network.
