Clemson University is one of the country’s top public universities, that combines the best of small-college teaching and big-time science, engineering and technology. It is a selective, public, land-grant university in a college-town setting along a dynamic Southeastern corridor. The University is committed to world-class teaching, research and public service in the context of general education, student development and continuing education. Clemson's desire is to attract a capable, dedicated and diverse student body of approximately 12,000 to 14,000 undergraduate and 4,000 to 5,000 graduate students, with priority to students from South Carolina.

Te main goal of the University is to provide educational and enrichment opportunities to create leaders, thinkers and entrepreneurs solving real-world problems through research, outreach and public service. The University’s mission is to perform the covenant between its founder and the people of South Carolina to establish a "high seminary of learning" through its historical land-grant responsibilities of teaching, research and extended public service.

The University has five colleges: Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; Architecture, Arts and Humanities; Business and Behavioral Science; Engineering and Science; and Health, Education and Human Development. There are more than 17,000 students at the University and they can select from 70 undergraduate and 100 graduate degree programs.

Clemson University is well known for its prominent athletic programs and for the spirit of its fans. Moreover, another important aspect of Clemson is its dedication to improving the world through public service, which is why the University encourages faculty to engage their classes through service learning. With its college-town, lake front setting against a backdrop of mountains and forests, Clemson is characterized by a strong sense of community, a commitment to service and a love of winning – in academics, in athletics and in life.

Clemson professors get to know their students and explore innovative ways of teaching. And it’s one reason Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country among public schools. This is the main reason why Clemson attracts some of the country’s best students who seek intellectual challenge.
