Welcome to CCU

Coastal Carolina University's story began in 1954 when the institution was founded by a group of local citizens determined to bring higher education to the regions. While enrollment has grown to more than 10,000 students, Coastal Carolina University still maintains its small-college feel while providing the opportunities that distinguish a much-larger university.

We invite you to take a look at Coastal Carolina University and meet our students and faculty. We are a young, growing university whose story is still being written. Come see where YOU fit in.

Amanda E. Craddock, Ed.D.
Vice President for Enrollment Management
