“Ten straight years of earning the #1 Top Public College in the South position is a singularly distinctive achievement that should be celebrated,” said Gen. Glenn M. Walters, president of The Citadel.

The Citadel has made great progress during the tenure of Fred Price Jr., ’75, on the board and as board chair. That progress will continue.

The Board’s outstanding Vice Chair, Colonel Myron Harrington, U.S. Marine Corps (retired), will step into the Board Chair position, where he will continue to serve our college with honor and distinction.

The Citadel’s ROTC detachments welcome 12 new Military Science leaders in the 2020-2021 academic year.

Due to the challenges with college entrance tests’ availability and access, The Citadel is implementing a test optional policy for high school students applying for the fall 2021 term.

The Citadel’s new strategic plan, Our Mighty Citadel 2026, is now in place to serve as the guideline for the college’s evolution.
