In order to expand educational opportunities, the university maintains a variety of cooperative programs with colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Detailed information on each of these programs is available from the offices specified below.
Clemson University - Lander University Engineering Dual-Degree Program enables students to combine two or three years of study in one of Lander University’s liberal arts and sciences programs with two or three years of study in an engineering discipline at Clemson and, upon completion, earn degrees from both Lander and Clemson. For further information and to see how the estimated time periods vary with each program, consult the descriptions of the different engineering dual-degree majors on pages 75-76, 325-326, 337-338, and contact the Department of Mathematics or the Department of Physical Sciences.
The Western Piedmont Education Consortium is composed of school districts within Abbeville, Anderson, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, Lexington, McCormick, Newberry, Union, and Saluda Counties and the higher education institutions of Piedmont Technical College and Lander University. Through the Staff Development Network, the Consortium makes possible increased school/college cooperation that focuses upon academic training of pre service and in service teachers and applied research activities.

In addition, the University has developed course by course transfer guides for programs and courses other than those included in the AA and AS degree programs offered by the technical colleges. Guidelines for the transfer of credits and courses are available online at
