Centenary Plan and Faculty Excellence Initiative
The University had more than 2,270 full-time faculty at its eight campuses in fall 2007, including more than 1,705 in Columbia. In addition, more than 4,500 full-time staff—nearly 4,000 in Columbia—support the University.
South Carolina faculty garnered $206 million in federal, state, and private funding for research, outreach, and training programs for fiscal year 2008. The record figure was an 11.3 percent increase from the previous year.
The University has aggressively recruited new faculty through two hiring programs, one focused on research and another on interdisciplinary clusters. Some 600 new faculty have been or will be hired in the next several years, infusing even more talent and expertise into South Carolina's mission of excellence in teaching, research, and service.
