Since it was established by the Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) Church in 1839, Erskine College has been committed to the principle that facts and values–learning and faith–are inseparable. With this foundation, Erskine is committed to developing the whole person as a lifelong learner, encouraging students to think critically about their academic studies, with minds and hearts open to the truth.

Each of Erskine’s  degree programs can be customized by working with faculty to create a course of study that suits your personal and career interests. All of your classes will be taught by your professors, not by teaching assistants. And you’ll get plenty of face time with those professors since our student-faculty ratio is 11:1 and nearly all class sections have fewer than 25 students.

Erskine College is nestled into historic Due West, in Abbeville County, South Carolina. With a population of 1,200 and a 90-acre campus with a student body of just under 600, Due West is a quiet college town, perfect for study. From sports to the arts, there’s a lot to do on the Erskine campus, but within only a 30-minute drive you’ll find plenty of shopping, historical sites, and a number of recreational areas that offer boating, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking.
