Columbia is the capital of South Carolina and the home of the University of South Carolina, the state's flagship research university. Founded in 1801, the university carries the highest Carnegie research classification and draws hundreds of millions of dollars in sponsored research each year. It is known for international business, nursing, public health, law, and engineering. As the state capital, Columbia is also a center for government, policy, and business writing. That mix produces a steady flow of dissertations, journal manuscripts, reports, and proposals. Clear, precise English is part of that work, and Editor World helps students, faculty, and professionals in Columbia meet that standard.
