Approximately 800 students attend Erskine, pursuing bachelor's degrees in fields like political science, health science, and philosophy.

Additionally, Erskine offers a variety of pre-professional tracks for students who want to pursue careers in education, engineering, law, and the allied health fields. Graduate candidates can obtain master's degrees in theology and practical divinity. Experienced religious leaders can enroll in the doctor of ministry program, completing the 36-credit degree plan in three years. First-year applicants should submit an online application, official high school transcripts, and ACT/CLT/SAT scores. Transfer candidates need at least a 2.0 GPA. Graduate criteria differ by program but usually include a minimum 2.5 GPA.
