Converse College will become Converse University


Jeannie Putnam reported for the Greenville (SC) Journal on June 29, 2021 that Converse College in Spartanburg, SC become Converse University on July 1st. 

Converse trustees approved a number of changes over a year ago to recognize over fifty years as a graduate degree-granting institution. In addition to the name change, Converse will maintain a Converse College for Women and expand its international school into an international college. 

Converse was founded in 1890 and you can visit the "Our History" web page to read more about the institution's history.


Individuals can also consult the Index of Colleges and Universities that have Closed, Merged, or Changed Names to see more information on institutions that have closed or changed names. There are separate pages for each of the states and the District of Columbia.
