Opened in 1968, this college has nearly 3,000 undergraduate students attending. Though the campus is on the smaller side, it is world-class. Some of their current awards (2021-2022) include:
- #4 on the Best Colleges in the Regional Colleges South

- #2 Most Innovative Schools
These awards are based on a number of factors. The scores were calculated and distributed by U.S. News.
