Converse University
Converse was founded in 1889 by citizens of Spartanburg, S.C. who aimed to create an educational experience that enables women “to see clearly, decide wisely, and act justly.” Converse is a creator of opportunity for all academically-qualified students through a personalized education that is combined with the professional and technical skills graduates need to be successful in their careers. Converse pushes beyond traditional boundaries to make a quality educational experience available to every qualified student who seeks it – both at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels. Effective July 1, 2021 Converse will acknowledge its university status under the name Converse University, and in fall 2021 it will welcome its first undergraduate co-educational incoming class.www.converse.edu
