University courses at Clemson University

The University was founded in 1889 as the Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina. It was established by a bequest from Thomas Green Clemson (1807-1888), noted scientist, agriculturalist, and son-in-law of John C. Calhoun, whose Fort Hill plantation formed the core of the college campus.

The mission of Clemson University is to fulfill the covenant between its founder and the people of South Carolina to establish a "high seminary of learning" through its historical land-grant responsibilities of teaching, research and extended public service.

Clemson University is a selective, public, land-grant university in a college-town setting along a dynamic Southeastern corridor. The University is committed to world-class teaching, research and public service in the context of general education, student development and continuing education. Clemson's desire is to attract a capable, dedicated and diverse student body of approximately 12,000 to 14,000 undergraduate and 4,000 to 5,000 graduate students, with priority to students from South Carolina.
