The Edwards College is home to one of the most diverse student bodies at Coastal Carolina University, and our faculty, staff and students engage in inclusive and diverse scholarship and art and many focus on historically underrepresented and marginalized groups.
At the Edwards College, our diversity is our strength. Our students come from different countries, states and regions, and different economic, cultural, and social backgrounds. Many are the first students in their families to attend college. Others are seasoned professionals returning to complete their degree or adding a second one. Our entire college works to create an inclusive and equitable creative and learning environment, pairing local research with global perspectives.
Those in the Edwards College believe in ideals such as truth, beauty, and the immortality of art; we pursue those ideals on a daily basis. But we also believe in preparing students to thrive in a 21st-century workplace that features ever-advancing technology and forms of communication. The ability to think critically in order to succeed in such an environment offers lifelong benefits, and it’s rooted in the Edwards College.
