Due to the potential for winter weather conditions in our area, USC Salkehatchie will close at 1 p.m. on Friday, January 10. All classes, campus activities, athletic events and campus operations are canceled for the day. The decision to close was made in the interest of the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff and in conjunction with our local county governments. We will continue to monitor the weather situation and provide updates as necessary on our website, social media channels and through Carolina Alerts.

Palmetto College

19 baccalaureate degrees can be completed online through Palmetto College. Students must have earned 45 credit hours toward the particular degree before applying to these programs. Once admitted, all upper level course work can be completed online or at USC Salkehatchie.

Palmetto College was created to enable place-bound students to complete selected baccalaureate degrees without leaving the Regional Campuses or the comfort of their own home.  The use of distance education including online platforms provides baccalaureate-level courses to students whose family or employment obligations prevent them from relocating to complete a degree.

Through Palmetto College, the University of South Carolina leads the way for South Carolinians to have an affordable, convenient way to take advantage of new jobs, promotions or salary increases that require a four-year bachelor's degree.

A recent study by researchers in USC's Darla Moore School of Business shows that bachelor's degrees provide a lifetime of better earnings for individuals and communities. South Carolina residents with bachelors' degrees earn an average of $15,000 more per year than high school graduates. In fact, all salaries in a community rise when the number of college graduates increases.
