About

Established in 1839 as South Carolina's first church-affiliated four-year institution, Erskine College is a private Christian liberal arts college best known for its rigorous pre-professional preparation—particularly in pre-medicine, pre-veterinary studies, and education—as well as its associated theological seminary. Campus culture is deeply faith-centered and community-oriented, shaped by the college's Associate Reformed Presbyterian heritage, active campus ministries, and NCAA Division II athletics. Located in the quiet, historic town of Due West, Erskine distinguishes itself through an intimate 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio and a proven track record of placing graduates into top-tier medical and professional schools.
