School Description

Provided by Limestone College

The mission of Limestone College is to educate students from diverse backgrounds in the liberal arts and selected professional disciplines. By providing degree programs throughout South Carolina and by way of the Internet, Limestone College offers opportunities for personal and professional growth to individuals who may find access to higher education difficult. In a nurturing, supportive environment based on Christian ideals and ethical principles, students are challenged to become critical thinkers and effective communicators who are prepared for responsible citizenship, successful careers, and graduate study.

The College's faculty and staff, academic and co-curricular programs, financial resources, and support services are dedicated to an educational climate that upholds high academic standards and fosters respect for learning and beauty, creativity and hard work, tolerance and personal integrity, vigorous activity and spiritual reflection.

Limestone College is an accredited, independent, coeducational four-year liberal arts institution chartered by the State of South Carolina. Limestone College is a Christian non-denominational college. Its programs lead to the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Social Work, Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree.

When Limestone was established in 1845, it was the first women’s college in South Carolina and one of the very first in the United States. It wasn’t until the late 1960s that Limestone became fully coeducational.

Today, Limestone enrolls 750 traditional day students on our main campus and 2,800 Extended Campus students at 8 sites in South Carolina and on the Internet. Our total enrollment is around 3,500.

The day students on our campus enjoy a small, friendly, caring campus where they’re known as individuals, not as numbers. They’re challenged by well-educated and dedicated faculty, who genuinely care for the individual student. Day students also participate in a wide variety of clubs, organizations, and 20 NCAA Division II athletic teams.

Our Extended Campus students are part of one of the first and most successful programs designed specifically to enable working adults to complete a baccalaureate degree. Our program attracts hardworking, goal-oriented men and women who aspire to attain their degrees to increase opportunities for personal growth and career advancement. Today, Limestone is truly a “statewide” college with 2/3 of our students taking classes at Extended Campus sites throughout South Carolina and around the world via the Internet. Our Internet program, begun in 1997, is one of the fastest growing programs of its kind anywhere in the United States.

Limestone’s main campus is located in Gaffney, South Carolina, in the Piedmont region – known for its diversified industrial, commercial, and agricultural interests. Gaffney is a small city with a population of only 25,000. The Limestone campus is located in a historic residential section of Gaffney. And nine of our campus buildings are located on the National Register of Historic Places.

Nestled among gently rolling hills, Gaffney enjoys a mild climate that permits a variety of outdoor activities throughout the year. The metropolitan areas of both Charlotte, North Carolina and Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina are within an hour’s drive. Resort areas of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains are less than an hour away, and Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and other coastal resorts are easily accessible for weekend visits. It is my pleasure to welcome you to Limestone College. After you explore our website, I hope you’ll have the opportunity to make a personal visit to our campus and discover why Limestone is such a special place. Thank you for your interest in Limestone College.

Limestone College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Limestone College is a private 4-year, coeducational liberal-arts college located in Gaffney, South Carolina.

Limestone was established in 1845 by Dr. Thomas Curtis and his son, Dr. William Curtis, distinguished scholars born and educated in England. Limestone was the first women's college in South Carolina, and one of the first in the nation. Over half of the buildings on the campus, as well as the Limestone Springs and Limestone Quarry Lake itself, are on the National Register of Historic Places. In the 1960s, Limestone became fully coeducational, and today student enrollment is about 55:45 male:female. It is the third oldest college in South Carolina.

Limestone enrolls approximately 800 traditional day students. However, its total student population of over 3500, including evening and distance learning students in its innovative Extended Campus program, makes it the largest private accredited institution in the state of South Carolina. The university primarily serves students from South Carolina and the Eastern seaboard, with an increasing number of students from all over the world in its day and Extended Campus programs.

75% of the faculty at Limestone hold the terminal degree in their field and the student/faculty ratio is a very low 12:1. Limestone offers students 38 majors in four different divisions of study: Arts and Letters, Natural Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Professional Studies. An innovative and comprehensive Program for Alternative Learning Styles (PALS) serves a growing number of college age students with specific learning disabilities (LD) such as AD/HD, dyslexia, etc. in the day campus program.

Limestone plays sports in the 12-school Conference Carolinas, offering competitive opportunities at the NCAA Division II level for men in soccer, basketball, baseball, wrestling, lacrosse, golf, cross country, swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball and for women in golf, volleyball, basketball, softball, tennis, soccer, swimming, cross country, lacrosse, track and field, and field hockey. Limestone has an indoor Olympic-size pool for swim team and recreational use, along with a newly-constructed (2005) campus Physical Education facility containing modern classrooms, offices, locker rooms, Athletic Training Education facilities for the school's fully-accredited AT program, a state of the art fitness center, and a wrestling practice facility.
