University of South Carolina-Columbia
About
The University of South Carolina enjoys a rich history of more than 200 years of academic leadership. The UofSC College of Education is a state and national leader in providing comprehensive, world-class preparation for teachers, counselors, education administrators, researchers and policymakers.
As a first-generation student, I relied on my teachers and community to help me navigate applying to college. The Apple Core Initiative in the College of Education provided a home for me at the UofSC where I was supported. My interactions with faculty and staff fostered my passion for education.
