Applying to the College
Every year, our admission decisions become harder because more and more top high school students designate the College as their number one choice. With such talented, creative and engaged students, it's no surprise that U.S. News & World Report ranked us No. 4 among southern master's-level public universities and named us an "Up and Coming School to Watch" in 2009. College of Charleston students arrive as world travelers, independent thinkers and proven leaders who have demonstrated a deep commitment to serving others.
If you're ready to join the 10,000 undergraduate students who have chosen the College, then you're in the right place. The College of Charleston welcomes applications for both the fall and spring semesters.
