Converse is a small college, big on opportunities. We:
• Shape young women of today into leaders for tomorrow.
• Foster exploration, discovery, commitment and vision.
• Prepare students for lifelong learning, leadership and service.
Founded in 1889 and located in the heart of Spartanburg, South Carolina – home to six colleges and 10,000 college students – Converse helps women develop the skills necessary to balance a full life. Students develop their unique voices through our challenging liberal arts curriculum, century-old honor tradition, and Daniels Center for Leadership and Service. Our close-knit residential community cultivates a spirit of sisterhood and enterprise among women diverse in backgrounds and interests. Across the board – from art and design to science, business, music and education – professors actively mentor and challenge students through spirited discussions inside and outside of the classroom. The Nisbet Honors Program, Petrie School of Music, independent and collaborative research opportunities, leading national debate teams, study abroad and internship programs, and a 9:1 student/faculty ratio differentiate the Converse learning community.
Converse competes in NCAA Division II athletics – the highest level of any women’s college, is the only women’s college on the All-Steinway School roster, and is consistently top ranked by U.S. News & World Report.
