USC Upstate

We now meet at USC Upstate in the Rampey Building.

USC Upstate is Spartanburg’s leg of the University of South Carolina system of schools. The school was founded in 1967, and today stands as a four-year liberal arts school with graduate programs. It boasts an enrollment of nearly 5,000 students with 328 acres of campus.

Sparatanburg is a college town, with Upstate being one of six higher level learning schools and the highest per capita student population of any town in SC. This plays an important role in the economics in Spartanburg and the Upstate in general. And many large companies call Spartanburg their headquarters, and more importantly their home, including the National Beta Club, BMW, Michelin, Milliken, Adidas, and more.
