Beaufort College
Beaufort College was a preparatory school and college in
Beaufort,
South Carolina. It was founded in
1795 to serve the families of local planters. The college was annexed to the University of South Carolina System in
1959. While the school is now officially the
University of South Carolina Beaufort (or USCB) , many people still refer to the old name. For several decades after annexation, Beaufort operated as a junior college, and still primarily offers Associate degrees. Beaufort serves around 1,200 students on four campuses, all located in
Beaufort County, South Carolina. In
2002 it was extended to again be a four year college, and awards baccalaureate degrees in nursing, education, and business administration.
