Erskine offers 23 degree programs across the liberal arts and pre-professional studies in law, medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry. Students are also able to customize programs to suit their career interests by working with faculty to create an appropriate course of study.

As part of this effort, Erskine offers a month-long January term ( “J-Term”) to allow for concentrated study in a single field, which could include independent study, externships, or travel opportunities. Semester study abroad opportunities are also available in Scotland, England, France, and Mexico.

Students can take advantage of academic support through Supplemental Instruction (SI), an optional academic assistance program that uses peer-to-peer collaborative learning to reinforce course content and good study habits as well as help build friendships with classmates.

At Erskine, students are taught by professors, not teaching assistants. With a 12:1 student-faculty ratio and classes capped at 25, faculty members take the time to get to know students and push them to excel both personally and academically toward growth as a whole person.
