USCB Holds Spring 2025 Commencement
321 students marched at the University of South Carolina Beaufort's spring commencement on May 2, 2025.
“Each of you has overcome your own challenges on the path to earning your degree. Each of you is a success story, now and in the making. The entire university community is proud of you and your accomplishments,” USCB Chancellor Al M. Panu told the graduates.
The highest number of degrees awarded were in Psychology, Nursing, Business Administration, Biology and Interdisciplinary Studies. Other popular majors among the Class of 2025 included Public Health, Communication Studies, Computational Science and Hospitality Management.
USCB also awarded three master's degrees at spring commencement: two in Computational Science and one in Literacy.
