Excellence in teaching is demonstrated by numerous awards recognizing our faculty for superior teaching performance: the AMOCO Outstanding Teaching Award, the Mortar Board Excellence in Teaching Award and the Michael J. Mungo Teaching Award. These awards are campus-wide and represent the most prestigious forms of teaching recognition at the University of South Carolina. Our department has been honored twice with the Mungo Award, while three of our faculty have been recognized as top teachers by the Alfred G. Smith, Jr. Excellence in Teaching Award.
Excellence in research supports the teaching mission by ensuring that faculty are on the cutting edge of their respective fields.
