The Citadel is a public, four-year higher education institution in Charleston, South Carolina, rooted in a classic military college tradition that emphasizes leadership excellence and academic distinction. Founded in 1842, it operates from the historic campus at 171 Moultrie Street and serves students seeking a rigorous, character-driven education. Each entering class typically sees about 30 percent commissioning as officers across branches of the U.S. military, while graduates have long pursued leadership roles in the military, government and communities. The Citadel Graduate College offers more than 60 master's degrees and graduate certificates and 12 undergraduate programs, with courses delivered in the evening or online. The institution has been recognized as a top public university in the South by U.S. News & World Report for eleven consecutive years. In March 2026, the college named Gen. Frank McKenzie, USMC (Ret.), as its 21st president, marking a notable leadership transition.
