File this under Ways Charleston Keeps Improving On Success! I love this place, and I love living here at such an exciting time, when smart growth is the order of the day! It's great that young professionals can begin building their lives here from the start, to settle in, buy a house and stay, instead of having to keep things on hold, renting or staying in their "starter" home for the years while they finish their education out of state.
I hate seeing locals go off to graduate school intending to come back, but never quite making it. Let's keep our best and the brightest right here!
"Along with expanding the facility’s offices by 6,000 square feet, center officials added three new programs for this fall: a doctoral degree in educational administration and a master’s of social work, both from the University of South Carolina, plus master’s-level courses in urban and regional planning from the College of Charleston.
The three additional advanced educational offerings bring to 12 the list of programs offered in full or part at the North Charleston Lowcountry Graduate Center, a collaboration between the University of South Carolina, Clemson University, The Citadel and the College of Charleston to bring targeted graduate programs to the area.
Programs at the Lowcountry Graduate Center are aimed at working professionals wanting to advance their careers, or at businesses that have moved or are considering a move to the area and want to ensure their employees have access to advanced educational programs.
Offering additional advanced educational programs was one of the suggestions in the 2005 Forward Charleston report by Austin, Texas-based AngelouEconomics as a way to attract and retain talent and support and grow the state’s biosciences, automotive, aeronautic, advanced securities and creative industries."
