he University of South Carolina is the state’s first public college to offer residents a way to earn a bachelor’s degree at home, provided they earn their first two years of credits in the classroom. The university expects to launch Palmetto College next fall with half-dozen degree programs, including business, criminal justice, elementary education, nursing and organizational leadership – programs chosen for their demand and practicality. “The call of this is to provide access to people who don’t have access to our regular campuses,” said USC provost Michael Amiridis. “In many cases, they’re looking for professional advancement or a job.”
