CCU Viewbook - Page 1 Interact. Coastal Carolina students find common ground in the quest for an education that lasts a lifetime. And it starts right here. Coastal Carolina students come from 44 states and 22 countries. But the real story of Coastal Carolina is about building bridges, linking people and places.
Interaction is the keystone of the Coastal Carolina experience.
Most of the more than 200 faculty members are published authors and present at national and international levels. Select faculty have been awarded Fulbright grants for research in countries such as Kenya, Poland, Japan Colombia, Cyprus, New Zealand and China. Going to school and living just minutes from the beach is a pretty good arrangement, but what happens on campus matters most to students. And statistics prove that students who get involved in the life of the university early in their college careers perform better in the classroom, and find success faster after graduation. To energize campus life, Coastal Carolina sponsors more than 50 student organizations, including a flourishing Greek culture, NCAA Division I athletics and a full cultural calendar.
