Erskine's spacious 85-acre campus provides classic and
modern facilities. The signature towers of the Erskine Building are pictured
above.
Erskine provides an outstanding Christian
liberal arts education to all students to prepare them for responsible
living, service, and ministry in both church and society. Christian commitment
blends with academic excellence in a way which is neither artificial
nor contrived. The college has a strong belief in academic freedom, provides
incentive for critical thinking and investigation and attempts to model
a true picture of servant leadership.
