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.
