Our Story

The Lowcountry Graduate Center (LGC) is a state-funded organization dedicated to providing Charleston-area residents with convenient access to graduate-level academic programs. We partner with The College of Charleston, The Citadel, Medical University of South Carolina, Anderson University, Universtiy of South Carolina, and South Carolina State University in hopes to ensure that local students have access to the resources necessary for career advancement. If a required graduate program is not available through our current partners, the LGC can develop further partnerships with universities in South Carolina and beyond. We recognize that an educated populace is a key to economic growth and well-being, and the LGC works with trusted advisors; such as business leaders, major employers, and academic institutions throughout South Carolina to identify which graduate certificates and degrees will help meet the workforce needs in the Lowcountry region.
