Located in historic Charleston, South Carolina, The Citadel is a fully accredited, public, comprehensive, coeducational institution serving approximately 2,400 undergraduate students in the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and 1,200 students in The Citadel Graduate College, which offers evening and online undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
