School Description

Provided by Spartanburg Methodist College

Spartanburg Methodist College (SMC) is one of the few colleges in the South devoted exclusively to the freshmen and sophomore years of college. In fact, we are the only independent residential two-year college in South Carolina and one of the few colleges of this type in the Southeast. This distinction makes us unique, and because we are unique, we take our mission seriously and keep the students best interest in the forefront of our planning. Since we focus directly on these two years of education, naturally we do a great job of academically preparing our students to move on to their junior and senior years of college. Classes are small and individual student attention from our faculty is plentiful. Your success is our success, so you can rest assured that help is as near as the classroom in which you attend classes.

For many, it is the extraordinarily high acceptance rate of our graduates at major universities. At SMC, our associate degree programs are so strong, more than 90% of our graduates continue their education at some of the nation's finest universities and colleges. Our liberal arts curriculum and structured articulation agreements, ensures a smooth transfer of credits.

The purpose of Spartanburg Methodist College, a two-year, coeducational institution related to the United Methodist Church, is to develop the worth and abilities of each individual through programs relevant to academic and personal needs. The College strives for a values-oriented atmosphere in the Christian tradition in which students can develop a sensitivity to the needs of others and from which they can assume responsible positions in society.
