History:
The university was founded as South Carolina College on December 19, 1801. It closed during the War Between the States due to a lack of students, re-opening in 1866. During Reconstruction, the university was the only one in the South to admit and grant degrees to blacks. Once Reconstruction ended, the university was closed for three years and then reopened in 1880 as a whites-only agricultural college.

In 1906, the institution was rechartered as the University of South Carolina. In the 1950s, other campuses across the state began to be established. On September 11, 1963, as a result of a court order, the university admitted three African-Americans, the first since Reconstruction.

Athletics:
The school sponsors 18 collegiate sports. All teams compete at the Division I level of the NCAA and all sports but men's soccer compete in the Southeastern Conference. South Carolina's student athletes are also known as Fighting Gamecocks. The school colors are Garnet and Black.

The University was a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1953 but left in 1971 after disputes over the conference's recruiting regulations and the dominance of the four North Carolina schools. The football team started competing as an independent and other sports competed in the Metro Conference. In 1992 South Carolina joined the Southeastern Conference together with the University of Arkansas to bring membership total to 12.
