CU 101: Intro to Clemson

Watch "Clemson: The Place" to see why there's no place like Clemson.

Founded in 1889 as Clemson Agricultural College, the university began as an all-male military school nestled on 1,400 acres on the shores of Lake Hartwell. With over 80-plus majors and 120-plus graduate degree programs, Clemson offers an array of academic opportunities for its 21,653 undergraduate students.

A college town at its core, Clemson sits just two hours away from both Atlanta and Charlotte and is just an hour away from some of the best kayaking, whitewater rafting and hiking in the nation.
