The Citadel, The Military
College of South Carolina, is a state-supported, comprehensive college
with 14 academic departments divided into five schools offering 20 majors
and 23 minors. The Citadel is best known for its undergraduate Corps of
Cadets military program for men and women, which combines academics, physical
challenges and military discipline.In addition to the cadet program, civilian
classes are offered through the Citadel's College of Graduate and Professional
Studies with its evening undergraduate and graduate progams. The Citadel
enrolls almost 2,000 undergraduate cadets in its residential military
program and 1,200 civilian students in the evening programs. While both
programs make use of the Citadel campus, cadets and civilian students
do not share classes and only cadets live on campus.
The Citadel was named a "Best Value in the South"
and was ranked second out of 24 top public universities in the Southern
region of the United States that offer up to a master’s degree by
U.S. News & World Report.
Newsweek magazine also included The Citadel in its 2006
list of “America's 25 Hot Schools” as the “Hottest Military
School”.
History
On December 20, 1842, the South Carolina Legislature passed an act establishing
the South Carolina Military Academy. The first twenty cadets reported
to The Citadel, then located at Marion Square in downtown Charleston,
on March 20, 1843. When South Carolina seceded from the Union in December
1860, Major Robert Anderson moved his garrison of U.S. troops to Fort
Sumter and requested reinforcements from the federal government. On January
9, 1861, Citadel cadets George Edward Haynsworth and Samuel Bonneau Pickens
fired two large cannons from their Morris Island station at the U.S. steamer,
the Star of the West, preventing it from reaching Fort Sumter with troops
and supplies. This action is generally considered the "first shot
fired" in the American Civil War.
On January 28, 1861, the Corps of Cadets of The Citadel
Academy was part made of the military organization of the state and named
the Battalion of State Cadets. The Citadel continued to operate as a military
academy, however classes were often disrupted when the governor called
the cadets into military service. Mounting and manning heavy guns, performing
guard duty, providing security, and escorting prisoners were among the
services performed by the cadets.
In early December 1864, Governor Bonham ordered the Battalion
of State Cadets to Tulifinny Creek to join a small Confederate force defending
the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. On December 7 and 9, the cadets
fought against Union forces, successfully defending the railroad line
and forcing Union forces to withdraw. The cadets suffered eight casualties
at Tulifinny Creek. The battalion was commended for its display of discipline
and gallantry under fire and won the admiration of the troops who fought
with them. The flag of the Corps of Cadets includes eight battle streamers,
representing these engagements, and one streamer representing the Confederate
States Army.
On February 18, 1865, The Citadel ceased operation as
a college when Union troops entered Charleston and occupied the site.
Cadets from the Arsenal, The Citadel's sister campus,
also fired some of the last shots of the Civil War at Williamston on May
1, 1865.
Following the War, the Board of Visitors eventually regained
possession of The Citadel campus and the South Carolina Legislature passed
an act to reopen the college. The 1882 session began with an enrollment
of 185 cadets.
The name of the college was officially changed in 1910
to "The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina". The
word "Academy" had become synonymous with secondary schools
and the public had the misconception that the South Carolina Military
Academy was a preparatory school.
In the war with Spain in 1898, more Citadel alumni volunteered
for service than were needed. In World War I, Citadel graduates were among
the first contingents of American troops to fight with the English and
French divisions. By that time, The Citadel had outgrown its campus on
Marion Square, despite numerous building additions. In 1918, the City
of Charleston gave the State of South Carolina one hundred seventy six
acres on the banks of the Ashley River for a new campus. In 1922 the college
moved to its current location.
The title of the head of The Citadel was changed from
Superintendent to President in 1921, when The Citadel moved to its present
location. Oliver Bond was the last Superintendent and the first President
of The Citadel.
Citadel graduates have performed military service for
their country in all major conflicts. These include World Wars I and II,
Korea, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan),
and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The entire class of 1944 was inducted into the U.S. armed
forces during World War II and only two members graduated. This may be
one of the only instances where an entire class of students was inducted
into military service at once.
Rankings
The Citadel was ranked a "Best Value in the South" and held
steady in the second place among top public universities in the South
offering up to master’s degrees by U.S. News & World Report
in 2006.
Engineering students are among the most highly-recruited
students from The Citadel and its School of Engineering is ranked 32nd
among top 50 undergraduate engineering programs in the United States.
Kiplinger's magazine, in its ranking of the "Best
Values in Public Colleges" for 2006, made mention of The Citadel
as a "great value" although the military nature of its program
excluded it from consideration as a "traditional" four-year
college in its rankings.
The Citadel ranks first nationally among its peers for
the percentage of students who graduate on time and Citadel cadets are
twice as likely as their peers in other colleges to graduate in four years,
ranking first nationally among its peers in the percentage of students
who graduate on time. The Citadel's top ranking comes from a comparison
of all public colleges whose entering students have average SAT scores
between 1000 and 1200. The Citadel's four-year graduation rate is 59.7
percent and its six-year rate is 71.9 percent.
Student life
Cadets at The Citadel are members of the formal, structured South Carolina
Corps of Cadets. As at the federal military academies, cadets must meet
strict physical fitness and SAT/ACT testing standards for acceptance into
the Corps of Cadets. On most days, cadets have both morning and afternoon
physical (fitness) training, called "PT", military instruction
on leadership, weapons, drill & discipline, in addition to their regular
college classes. Most days start with early morning PT, a formal muster
and inspection of all personnel and rooms, then marched to structured
military meals, classes, and end with afternoon physical training, then
an evening muster formation and required evening study period. Because
The Citadel emphasizes corps unity & discipline, cadets cannot be
married and all must live on campus in the fortified barracks with their
assigned company. The Citadel emphasizes an extremely strict disciplinary
and physical fitness indoctrination for first-year cadets, who are called
knobs, after all hair is shaved on the first day of school. Despite the
heavy disciplinary, mental, educational, and physical challenges, cadets
value their first year for the lessons in teamwork, self-discipline and
time management. The heavily disciplined lifestyle that begins in the
knob year binds cadets into a lifelong, close-knit camaraderie that is
one of the strongest forces in their lives after graduation.
Included in the College of Graduate and Professional
Studies student body are a number of active duty Marine and Navy enlisted
personnel attending The Citadel under the Seaman To Admiral program (STA-21)
and the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP.
Athletics
A member of the Southern Conference, The Citadel is
a NCAA Division I school. The college's mascot is the Bulldog. Those cadets
who participate in NCAA fall athletics (football, cross country, womens
soccer and volleyball) are required to report a month earlier prior to
their freshman year for "athletic cadre," so that they can participate
in their sport practices when normal cadre starts. During the athletic
cadre, the military athletes are initiated into the Corps while completing
first-week experiences, such as "Hell Week". Civilian students
are also eligible to participate in the athletic program.
Minority and female students
Admission of minorities
After enrolling in 1966, Charles Foster became the first African-American
cadet to graduate from the Citadel in 1970.
Admission of women
The Corps of Cadets at The Citadel was all-male until August 1996, although
women had attended civilian graduate and undergraduate evening programs
at the school for many years.
On January 20, 1994, Shannon Faulkner, by Federal Court
Order after a two-year legal fight, became the first female student to
enroll in day classes at The Citadel. After additional legal battles,
Faulkner won the right to enroll in the residential Corps of Cadets program.
She joined an otherwise all-male class on August 15, 1995. However, except
for a few hours on the first day, she spent the entire first week in the
medical infirmary before voluntarily resigning, complaining of physical
exhaustion. After her departure, the male cadets openly celebrated on
the campus.
In the fall of 1996, four more women enrolled at the
Citadel. While two dropped out after four months citing harassment, Nancy
Mace, whose father was the Commandant of Cadets at the time, became the
first female cadet to graduate from The Citadel on May 8, 1999. The first
African-American women graduated on May 11, 2002. The Citadel, like the
United States military, has adopted gender norming for physical fitness
tests.
Campus
The Citadel sits on a 300 acre tract of land on the Ashley River. There
are 27 buildings grouped around a ten acre grass parade ground. The buildings
around the parade ground include ten classroom buildings, an administrative
building, four barracks, a student activities building, infirmary, chapel,
stadium, a field house, and library. Just off the main campus are the
football stadium, baseball stadium, and alumni center.
College of Graduate and Professional Studies
The Citadel’s evening college serves the Lowcountry by offering
nationally accredited bachelors, masters and specialist degrees scheduled
around the student’s profession, family and lifestyle. CGPS offers
19 graduate programs with concentrations in education, psychology, computer
science and business. The Masters of Business Administration program is
the only nationally accredited MBA program in the Lowcountry region of
South Carolina. Enrollment is up 12 percent from fall semester 2000. CGPS
also offers undergraduate evening programs in business and engineering.
The Citadel is also the only college in South Carolina that offers an
undergraduate civil and electrical engineering degree in an evening program.
Core Values
In its Vision Statement, the Citadel Board of Visitors identifies the
following as the school's "core values:"
Academics: We produce graduates who have insight into
the issues, ideas and values that are important to society and possess
the skills necessary to deal with them successfully. Duty: We emphasize
the importance of individual accountability and the moral obligation of
responsibility for the welfare of others. Honor: We adhere to a code which
teaches that uncompromising personal integrity is the primary guide in
all situations. "A cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate
those that do." Morality: We operate a leadership laboratory which
emphasizes a structured environment, acceptance of responsibility, self-confidence
and service to others. Discipline: We operate a leadership laboratory
which emphasizes a structured environment, acceptance of responsibility,
self-confidence and service to others. Diversity: We promote diversity
in all segments of our campus community and college life.
Enrollment
Eligibility is not restricted to South Carolina residents (although it
is more difficult to gain an appointment for non-residents). The Citadel
has graduated students from across the U.S. and from many other countries.
South Carolina residents do receive a discount in tuition, as is common
at most state-sponsored schools. Total first year expenses (tuition, fees,
uniforms, housing, meals, etc.) for the 2006-2007 school year will be
$18,458 for South Carolina residents and $28,777 for all others.
Military service
All cadets are required to undergo four years of ROTC training in one
of the four branches of the armed services, but they are not required
to enter military service after graduation. Civilian students may opt
to attend. Currently, just over 40 percent of graduates go into military
service and less than ten percent make the military a career. The others
go on to graduate, law, or medical school programs or enter the civilian
workforce. Over the years, 126 Citadel alumni have reached the top ranks
in the military by becoming flag officers (generals, rear admirals or
commodores) [4]. Alumni of the Citadel have served their country in all
wars involving the United States. Citadel alumni have been killed in action
during the Civil War (67), World War I (15), World War II (280), Korean
War (32), Vietnam War (68), Lebanon (1), Grenada (1), the Gulf War (1),
and the current War on Terror (11).
