Introduction

Anderson University is a Christian-centered community that is affiliated with the South Carolina Baptist Convention. AU was founded in 1912 and was originally an all female university known as Anderson College. After 1930, the college became a coeducational two-year institution and operated that way until 1991. After years of operating as a four year college, the institution decided to formally change their name to be a university in order to be in line with the programs that they were offering.

AU strives to provide students with a challenging education that is based in liberal arts but that will also continue through professional and graduate programs. Along with their rigorous studies, students can expect a school that is also invested in development of each member of its community. Character, servant leadership, and cultural engagement are highly encouraged.
