Founded in 1886, Winthrop University is a public, coeducational, comprehensive teaching university
that teaches students to live, learn and lead for a lifetime. The university enrolls an
achievement-oriented, culturally diverse and socially responsible student body of approximately 6,300 students.
The students pursue one of 40 undergraduate or 24 graduate degree programs with more than 100 options and
