It is the state's second-smallest publicly funded baccalaureate institution. HistoryLander University was founded by Methodist clergyman Samuel Lander in 1872 as Williamston Female College in Williamston, South Carolina. It remained a private institution for 26 years. In 1898 the College gained the support of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The college moved to Greenwood in 1904 and was renamed Lander College in honor of its founder who died in the same year. It remained a women's college until 1943 when men were first admitted. In 1948, when the Methodist Conference, pursuant to a policy of consolidation of its education efforts decided to end support of Lander College, interested citizens of Greenwood formed the Lander Foundation as a non-profit corporation and leased the College from the Church. In 1951, the Greenwood County obtained the College name and property from the Methodist Conference. The South Carolina General Assembly created the Greenwood County Education Commission, known as the Lander Foundation, to serve as the board of control of the College. Lander thus became the only four-year liberal arts college in the United States to be controlled and financed by a county government. In 1973, Lander College became a state-supported college and in 1992 its name was changed to Lander University. The institution is now completely co-educational. Lander University has had twelve presidents serve since it has been founded. The presidents in order are: Samuel Lander (1872-1904); John O. Willson (1904-1923); B. Rhett Turnipseed (1923-1927); R. H. Bennett (1927-1932); John W. Speake (1932-1941); John Marvin Rast (1941-1948); Boyce M. Grier (1948-1966); E. Don Herd, Jr. (1966-1973); Larry A. Jackson (1973-1992); William C. Moran (1992-2000); Daniel W. Ball (2000-2015); and Richard E. Cosentino (2015-present).[1] CampusLander is situated on a wooded site near the middle of the City of Greenwood, of approximately {{convert|123|acre|ha|0}}. The Lander College Old Main Building consists of three distinct sections displaying an eclectic blending of elements of the Romanesque Revival and Georgian Revival styles. Two of the sections—Greenwood Hall and Laura Lander Hall—were built in 1903-04; Willson Hall was added in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[2] In addition to six major buildings erected since 1973, campus improvements have included extensive renovations to a number of older facilities, new housing complexes, athletics fields and parking lots. Lander created a new 10-year Campus Master Plan in 2003. The first phase of the plan, the creation of a campus entrance, is complete, and a new residence hall (Centennial Hall) for 300 students opened in 2006. An expanded dining hall opened in January 2. Housing/DormsLander University has eleven housing areas. They are sectioned off between freshman housing and upperclassman housing. All first time students are required to stay on campus in one of the four designated dorms. Freshman have a choice between New Residence Hall, Centennial Hall, Chipley Hall (females only), and Williamston. These are all first come first serve. These dorms are for one year only with the exception of Williamston and Centennial Hall. These residence halls vary in styles from suites to apartment style living.[3] The costs for each housing varies. Upperclassman housing areas give students the independent-living feel. There are seven housing areas which includes Bearcat Village and the newest addition McGhee Court. These two are both located off campus. On campus housing includes Lide, Centennial Hall, Thomason, University Place, and Williamston.[4] The costs for each one of these varies as well. All housing areas have resident assistants who are there to help assist and guide students to make things easier. They are also around to help with any information you need. [5] StudentsAbout 3,000 students are enrolled with gender distribution of 31% male and 69% of female. Lander University has 43.1% of its classes with fewer than 20 students. The most popular majors at Lander are business administration and management, nursing, exercise science, sociology, and early childhood education and teaching. But even though those are popular majors, Lander is known for being a liberal arts school.[6] RankingsIn the 2018 edition of U.S. News & World' Report's Best Colleges rankings, Lander ranked 16 in Regional Colleges of the South and 6 in Best Colleges for Veterans.[6] FacultyLander has a student/faculty ratio of 19:1 with 123 full-time faculty members, the majority of whom hold terminal degrees in their areas.
