“To be a U.S. News and World Report’s Top 10 HBCU for 13 consecutive years secures Claflin’s place as a North Star in the constellation of the nation’s leading HBCUs,” said Claflin President Dr. Dwaun J. Warmack.

The University takes its name from two Methodist churchmen, Massachusetts Governor William Claflin and his father, Boston philanthropist Lee Claflin, who provided a large part of the funds to purchase the campus.

Dr. Alonzo Webster, a minister and educator from Vermont and a member of Claflin’s Board of Trustees, secured Claflin’s charter in 1869. The charter forbids discrimination of any sort among faculty, staff and students, making Claflin the first South Carolina University open to all students regardless of race, class or gender.

He came to South Carolina to teach at the Baker Biblical Institute in Charleston, an institution established by the S.C. Mission Conference of 1866 of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the education of African American ministers. In 1870, the Baker Biblical Institute merged with Claflin University. An act by the South Carolina General Assembly on March 12, 1872, designated the South Carolina State Agricultural and Mechanical Institute as a part of Claflin University. In 1896, the S.C. General Assembly passed an act of separation which severed the State Agricultural and Mechanical Institute from Claflin University and established a separate institution which eventually became South Carolina State University.

Claflin has been served by nine presidents: Dr. Edward Cooke (1872-1884); Dr. Lewis M. Dunton (1884-1922); Dr. Joseph B. Randolph (1922-1944); Dr. John J. Seabrook (1945-1955); Dr. Hubert V. Manning (1956-1984); Dr. Oscar A. Rogers, Jr. (1984-1994); Dr. Henry N. Tisdale (1994-2019); and Dr. Dwaun J. Warmack (2019-present).

Plan A Visit The best way to get a feel for Claflin is to visit us. Learn about our programs, talk to our faculty about your interests, and see that “Claflin Confidence” in action when you meet our current students.

Walking tours of the campus generally walk throughout our 43 acres with its historical landmarks. The tours also include entry into the academic buildings, the Campus Center, the library and the University Chapel. For the safety and privacy of our students, walking tours are not always permitted inside of the residential space of the residence halls.

Note: Tours are not available during Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Break, Spring Break, Honors and Awards Convocation, Good Friday and Final Exams (see the “Upcoming Events” list on Claflin University’s homepage for those dates).
