Located in one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the nation, the campus primarily serves its immediate five-county area, while homoring its commitment to the citizens of
Horry County who founded the University and continue to provide funding to it. Recognizing its responsibility to ensure a student population that is diverse both culturally and geographically, the institution also aggressively recruits statewide, out-of-state, and internationally.
