The Scoop
Coastal Carolina University is a public university in Conway, South Carolina, near Myrtle Beach and the Atlantic coast. Founded as a junior college in 1954 and independent since 1993, CCU has grown into a regional university of about 11,000 students with a practical, student-centered approach and a nationally visible Division I athletics profile.
The university's coastal location informs much of its identity, from marine and environmental study to tourism, hospitality, recreation, and internship opportunities in one of the Southeast's busiest visitor economies. Business, communications, health, education, and the sciences round out a broad undergraduate menu. CCU's teal-and-bronze identity and Chanticleer nickname give the campus a personality that is easy to spot on game day.
Students considering Coastal should evaluate both the academic program and the setting. Conway offers a real campus community and historic downtown, while Myrtle Beach adds access to the coast and entertainment a few miles away. A student-led tour can make that balance much clearer than a map ever will.
SchoolScoops offers private, student-led Coastal Carolina University campus tours starting at $75 for one hour or $150 for two hours. Tours are available in person or by video chat and are led by a real, verified current CCU student of your choice.
