	Clemson University, one of the country&rsquo;s top public universities, combines the best of small-college teaching and big-time science, engineering and technology.&nbsp;

	&nbsp;

	With nearly half of classes at Clemson having fewer than 20 students, Clemson professors get to know their students and explore innovative ways of teaching. It&rsquo;s one reason Clemson&rsquo;s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country among public schools. It&rsquo;s why Clemson continues to attract some of the country&rsquo;s best students who seek intellectual challenge.&nbsp;

	&nbsp;

	Clemson provides educational and enrichment opportunities to create leaders, thinkers and entrepreneurs solving real-world problems through research, outreach and public service.&nbsp;

	&nbsp;

	The University&rsquo;s 17,000 students can select from 70 undergraduate and 100 graduate degree programs offered by five colleges: Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; Architecture, Arts and Humanities; Business and Behavioral Science; Engineering and Science; and Health, Education and Human Development.&nbsp;

	&nbsp;

	Clemson is well known for its prominent athletic programs and for the spirit of its fans. 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. Recently, Clemson was recognized by The Princeton Review as one of a few select American universities as a &ldquo;Campus With a Conscience&rdquo; for its work in community service.&nbsp;

	&nbsp;

	With its college-town, lakefront 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 &ndash; in academics, in athletics and in life.
