University
of South Carolina Upstate
Spartanburg,
South Carolina
A citizen's
committee requested that Spartanburg be included in the University
of South Carolina system. The Spartanburg Regional Campus, as it was
first known, opened its doors in the fall of 1967 to 177 students
on the first floor of the Spartanburg General Hospital nursing residence.
Enrollment continued to increase, which resulted in the school becoming
a four-year university in 1975 and being renamed the University of
South Carolina Spartanburg.
In 2004 USCS changed its name to the University of South Carolina
Upstate.
