Wofford College is a private liberal arts college in Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States. Founded in 1854, it is one of the few four-year institutions in the southeastern United States founded before the American Civil War that still operates on its original campus. The 175-acre (71 ha) campus is a national arboretum.
This is a strong option for students who want a tight-knit liberal arts experience — a 90% freshman retention rate and 81% graduation rate suggest most students who enroll actually finish, which matters more than it sounds. At $28,984/year net price with median debt of just $20,500 at graduation, the financial picture is reasonably manageable, especially given median earnings of $59,800 a decade out. The small campus in Spartanburg won't suit everyone, and career outcomes are solid but not exceptional, so students with specific professional ambitions should look closely at internship and alumni network resources before committing.
