| • | Clemson University, located in Clemson, South Carolina, was founded in 1889, a legacy of Thomas Green Clemson, who willed his Fort Hill plantation home, its surrounding farmlands and forest, and other property to the State of South Carolina to establish a technical and scientific institution for South Carolina. Clemson opened its doors to 446 students as an all-male military college in 1893. Today, approximately 17,000 students attend the co-educational institution, with 64 percent of those students from South Carolina and the remaining 36 percent from 49 other states and 70 nations. In U.S. News and World Report's 2006 issue of America's Best Colleges, Clemson University ranks 34th among the nationࢀ&#-2509; 162 public doctoral-granting universities. Clemsonࢀ&#-2509; engineering program ranks 57th in the country.
Today, Clemson is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a Doctoral/Research University-Extensive, a category comprising less than 4 percent of all universities in America. Academically, the university is divided into five colleges: Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; Architecture, Arts and Humanities; Business and Behavioral Science; Engineering and Science; and Health, Education and Human Development. The University's most noted academic programs include those in agriculture, architecture, business, education, engineering, nursing, and textile studies.
The university's newest academic endeavor is the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) a 250 acre automotive and motorsports research campus located in nearby Greenville. CU-ICAR will include a graduate school to open in 2006 with Master's and Doctorate level degrees in automotive engineering, offering programs focused on systems integration. The campus also includes an Information Technology Research Center being developed by BMW Manufacturing Company. BMW, Microsoft, IBM, and Michelin are all corporate partners of CU-ICAR. Private sector companies that have committed so far to establishing offices and/or facilities on the campus include the Society of Automotive Engineers and The Timken Company. Plans for the campus also include a full-scale, four-vehicle capacity rolling-road model wind tunnel.
The school's sports teams are called the Tigers. They participate in the NCAA's Division I-A and in the Atlantic Coast Conference (Atlantic Division). Clemson's primary rival, howe
