- The University of South Carolina at Union was one of the first Regional Campuses established by USC. For over thirty years USCU has provided low-cost, fully-accredited courses which satisfy the degree requirements at USC and at other colleges and universities. USCU provides students with personal attention, small classes, financial aid opportunities, and co-curricular activities.
- The campus, which is located on East Main Street (Highway 49, east), consists of four buildings. The Main Building, that was beautifully restored in 1991, houses classrooms, administrative offices, science laboratories, the students lounge, the auditorium. The Central Building, that was renovated in 1988, houses classrooms, the central administrative offices, and the library. The Truluck Activity Center provides space for recreational and social activities.
- USCU confers the associate degree in science and in arts. USCU also offers the courses which allow a student to complete USC Columbia's Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (BAIS). In addition to traditional courses, USCU offers a variety of courses through USC Distance Education. These courses are offered through videocassette and both open-circuit and closed-circuit television. Distance education also allows students to complete graduate programs through the Graduate Regional Studies (GRS) program.
