The University

The University of South Carolina was founded in 1801. The centerpiece of the 330-acre urban campus is the historic and beautifully restored Horseshoe, site of the original campus. Ten of its buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The University enrolls more than 24,000 students on the Columbia campus, and approximately one-third are graduate students. The student population represents every state in the nation and more than 100 countries. The University is surrounded by restaurants, music clubs, fast-food franchises and specialty stores. The award winning Richland County Public Library is nearby, as is the Columbia Museum of Art, the State Museum, and the historic South Carolina State House. A trolley bus is available to transport participants from the campus to the Five Points and Vista areas where many of the most appealing eating, shopping, and entertainment venues are located.

Housing and the Neighborhood

Campus housing is available to all participants. Those who choose to stay on campus will be housed in a single occupancy, air-conditioned, suite-style room in a campus residence hall located just a short walk from the Koger Center for the Arts, the location for all Conductors Institute sessions. The Koger Center is located at the corner of Greene and Assembly Streets and is adjacent to the USC School of Music. Participants who do not wish to stay in campus housing will be responsible for securing their own accommodations.


The Conductors Institute of South Carolina is not affiliated with any other conductor's institute in the United States or abroad.
