More than 1,500 students transfer to UofSC Columbia each year from South Carolina and across the country. This is a popular path for many future UofSC Columbia students. After beginning elsewhere, you can apply as a transfer student once you've earned a satisfactory GPA on a least 30 hours of college work.
We encourage you to look first at all of the many options within the USC system, including comprehensive four-year campuses and Palmetto College campuses.
