The university traces its origins to 1872 with the creation of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Institute within Claflin College, a black institution of higher education in Orangeburg. The institute was separated from Claflin in 1896 and established as the Colored Normal, Industrial, Agricultural and Mechanical College of South Carolina, the state's land-grant college for African-American students. The college was renamed South Carolina State College in 1954 and was granted university status in 1992.
