" I am an athlete here at USC Aiken. The professors work well with me, and understand that I am going to miss class occasionally. They take time to explain to me the things I missed. USC Aiken is the place for me. "
- Jeremy Smith , Business Administration major

Did You Know?
USC Aiken has some of the best professional schools in South Carolina. All three - business, nursing, and education - have received the highest level of accreditation possible. This means more opportunities for you to learn from the best and brightest the University has to offer.

"USC Aiken has the best faculty around! Professors and advisors really have your best interest in mind and will always work with you."
- Dalisha Williams, Middle School Education major

"USC Aiken has so much to offer. Whether it’s Greek life, student activities, athletics, honor societies, or residential life, our campus is full of opportunities and ways to become involved."
- Aaron Doctor, Exercise and Sports Science major

"USCA has many different students from many different backgrounds, but one thing that ties us all together is the campus atmosphere. When I left high school I was scared that I was not going to meet anyone that would be as good as my friends back home. Within my first couple of days at USCA, I had more friends than I have ever had before."
- John Ellis, Communications major

"During the course of my freshman and sophomore years, I was a resident in the Pacer Downs. When I first met my roommate my freshman year, we became the best of friends from the get-go. We found out that we were so much alike in many ways. We connected like brothers, and we are still roommates today during our junior year. "
- Anthony (T.J.) Langford, Communications major

"Getting involved in Greek Life and participating in intramural sports is a great way to meet new people. I have participated in every intramural sport offered, and it has helped me stay active. "
- TJ Johnston, Business Marketing major

"Working on campus is a great opportunity for students at USC Aiken. You have the chance to meet so many faculty and staff members and see what happens behind the scenes here at school. Your job will also work around your class schedule because they always put academics first. "
- Chris Brown, Fine Arts major

"Through the wide variety of classes and clubs, USCA offers a little something for everyone. Its small class sizes, charm, and personal professors make it the perfect choice."
- Jessica Walters, Nursing major

"As a sophomore at USCA, I have really enjoyed the college classroom setting. Since the class sizes aren’t too big, I can always get help from professors anytime I’m in need."
- Thomas Mcleod, Exercise and Sports Science major

"Attending USC Aiken has been a great experience for me. From the campus events to classes and to housing, we are a like a family – a home away from home."
- Alyssa Gadsden, Chemistry major

"I love attending USC Aiken because I feel as if am in a family oriented environment. What I love most about is its location, the independence you gain from attending, and our Pacer spirit!"
- Alesha Jones, Communications major

"I never thought I would meet people from all around the world on such a small campus. You can find the best of both worlds: the advantages of a big campus in a small, friendlier environment."
- Dana Hailat, Biology (pre-dental) major

SOBA Study Abroad Program
The School of Business Administration would like to welcome you to our Study Abroad Program. Over the years, we have traveled to several European cities including Prague, Bratislava, Milan, Vienna, Budapest, and Ljubljana. The class departs right after exams in May and travels for two plus weeks in May (known as Maymester). We return in time for the first semester of USCA summer semesters.
As our mission states, our programs should prepare our students to meet the challenges of global business and dynamic society. The SOBA Study Abroad Program gains unique experiences and learn about business around the world!
Why Study Abroad?
Course Descriptions
Meet Last Year's Group
This program was initiated in May 1999 and was such a success that the School decided to continue the project as a yearly event. Our SOBA Studies Abroad Program is a rewarding educational experience that allows students to engage in a unique and enlightening learning format. In addition to an academic experience, the trip offers opportunity to understand the amazing history and culture of several European countries.
This Study Abroad Program, sponsored by The School of Business Administration, is designed to give enterprising students first-hand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing international business. This is a rare opportunity to experience the conversion of Central Europe's most progressive countries from centrally planned, socialistic to the free market economics.
The coursework consists of an intensive one week orientation on the Aiken campus covering coursework and the history, politics, economy, and business environment of the countries we will be visiting. This is followed by flying to Europe, two plus weeks of classes, company visits, outside speakers, and tours in and around the various cities. Through this trip, students can earn up to six credit hours. We offer ABUS 383: International Business and ABUS 398: Topics in International Business. Each course earns three credit hours.
