As an academic community, Erskine aims to glorify God by equipping students to flourish as whole persons for lives of service. The school is small by design with a student body just under 600. Students live on its stately 95-acre campus in the town of Due West in historic Abbeville County, South Carolina. With a population of 1,200, it’s a quiet college town, perfect for study.
The small, close-knit community at Erskine offers excellent academics and many opportunities to get involved.
