Wofford is a private, not-for-profit liberal arts college serving around 1,900 undergraduates in Spartanburg's downtown. It's the kind of place where you'll actually know your professors and classmates—small enough to feel like a community, but with enough resources to offer real opportunities. The college has a solid endowment and a traditional residential campus feel in an urban setting.
Tuition runs $54,100 per year, and with room and board included, you're looking at about $72,858 annually. That's steep, but Wofford's endowment means many students receive financial aid that brings the actual cost down. The student body is just under 1,900, which keeps things intimate without feeling isolated.
About 81 percent of students graduate within six years, which is solid. The school accepts about 59 percent of applicants, so it's moderately selective—you'll need decent grades and test scores (think SAT around 1350 combined, ACT around 31), but it's not trying to be Harvard. Wofford works best for students who want a close-knit liberal arts experience and don't mind paying for it, especially if they can get merit or need-based aid to make it more affordable.
