South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities

This free guide is published annually to assist students and their parents choose the college or university that meets each student’s unique combination of intellectual, personal, and financial needs. It contains general information about South Carolina’s independent colleges and universities, a location map, quick facts about the member institutions, detailed financial aid information, school visitation dates, and in-depth profiles of each of the 20 private colleges in South Carolina.

The SCICU Annual Report acknowledges the individual and businesses that support independent higher education, provides information about our accomplishments during the past year, and sets forth goals for the new year. The report also contains the organization’s most recent audited financial statements.
