Associate Degrees:
The Associate in Art and Associate in Science degrees recognize the completion of the
first two years of a four-year undergraduate university program. Both programs emphasize
the basic core courses common to a wide variety of programs. Both programs allow room
to specialize in coursework directly relevant to the major program. Your academic
advisor can show you how to customize these programs to meet your needs.
Baccalaureate Degrees:
Five bachelor degree programs are available on the USC Sumter campus. Students in these programs usually complete their degrees without having to leave Sumter. Occasionally, select classes or special class meetings are held in Columbia.
USC Aiken offers the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with a concentration in
management on the USC Sumter campus. All the coursework is taught in Sumter. Students in the program range
from traditional undergraduate students to working adults to small business owners seeking to upgrade their skills.
The program is fully accredited by AACSB.
USC Upstate offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in Elementary Education and Early Childhood
Education. These programs lead to certification of the State Department of Education. Sumter classes feature
both traditional classes and interactive video classes that originate on the Spartanburg campus.

students who already have bachelor’s degrees. These programs are fully accredited by NCATE.
USC Columbia offers the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies degree. This degree allows students

find this degree useful in advancing their careers. Depending on the student's interests, it is often possible to
complete this degree at USC Sumter.

program allows registered nurses with two-year degrees to progress seamlessly by Distance Education to the four-year level. For more details,
