Located in historic Charleston, S.C., The Citadel offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in the humanities, business, math, science, engineering and education. The Citadel's reputation for academic excellence is reinforced by annual rankings from U.S. News & World Report that place The Citadel as number two in public colleges granting master's degrees in the South. The engineering school is nationally ranked at number 27.

With an enrollment of more than 1900, the Corps of Cadets is the nation's largest military college program outside the service academies. All cadets are educated within a classic military system and about 40 percent of the graduating seniors earn military commissions. The remaining graduates attend graduate school or enter the job market.

The College of Graduate and Professional Studies, which is noted for Citadel excellence in a civilian environment, serves about 1200 residents of South Carolina's Lowcountry.

Academic programs at the college are complemented by a strong commitment to service and emphatic support of an honor code that calls upon a cadet not to lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do. Since its founding in 1842, The Citadel's emphasis on character as well as intellect has produced generations of graduates who have served their nation, their professions and their communities with distinction.
