Anderson University-Anderson, SC Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Megan

I loved Anderson for its student community. There are so many opportunities for student involvment in a variety of settings and outreach. Becuase the campus is so small, students receive personalized attention from staff, and create a special community. Spiritual growth is a priority for students.

Katelyn

Anderson University is The South Carolina School of the Arts, so we have a lot of Theatre, Music, and Art majors. However our Nursing, Education, and Criminal Justice departments are all up-and-coming. Being a part of the Criminal Justice crowd, I can say all of my professors are really nice, and they care a great deal about each and every one of their students. Also, Chapel every week is honestly one of the best parts of my week, even if I don't have to go.

Lauren

I believe that Anderson University is best known for "The South Carolina School of the Arts". They have wonderful music and drama programs that are well established. Anderson University is, also, known as the squirrel campus of South Carolina because of the large population of squirrels that run around campus all year. With it's beautiful front lawn full of enormous, shady trees and the warmth of South Carolina weather, the campus provides a wonderful habitat for squirrels. Anderson is indeed a wonderful place to be if you are a music major and love squirrels.

The South Carolina School of the Arts has a campus at Anderson University. It was always highly regarded for its music program when I was in high school, at the turn of the millinium. I have always been interested in attending there, and many of my friends attended this school as well. This school is just as well known for its strong, Christian environment.

Dondi

My school is ranked in the Top List of Southern Comprehensive Universities by U. S. News and World Report.

Brittany

Anderson University is known for their academics and liberal arts department. This is a Christian based school, but other religions are welcomed. AU is a great college with the most friendly students and faculty! I love it here.

Jessica

I believe that my school is best known for it's sense of community. The campus is quite small, compared to other universities, and this allows for smaller class sizes, better relationships with teachers, a tighter group of friends, and even just a sense of being a part of a community. You will meet some of the nicest, kindest people in the world, and you will also meet some people who will challenge you as a person and cause you to become the better you. The AU community allows for growth as a person.

Candace

Integrety and leadership skills of our graduates in all majors.

Amanda

My school is best known by the fact that it is a Christian University. It also offers an ACCEL program, which is ideal for non-traditional students who have children and/or full-time employment. The ACCEL program offers online and evening classes, which is the convenience that is needed for non-traditional students, seeking to achieve their educational goals. The fact that it is a Christian University allows all students to learn in an environment that promotes Christianity.
