Forbes Magazine's 2012 edition of "America's Best Colleges" includes Erskine College at #137. It is an impressive ranking for the college but an even more impressive statistic for us in athletics is that only one NCAA Division II institution in the nation is ranked ahead of Erskine. There are over 300 NCAA Division II schools so being #2 is quite an honor. There are no other NCAA Division II institutions in the Southeast region ranked in Forbes' top 200. Erskine is a unique place with high quality academics, strong Christian commitment, and intensely competitive athletics. It is a place where student-athletes can focus on becoming all they can be in an environment that allows their talents to flourish. It is exciting that Forbes has acknowledged Erskine for its uniqueness and excellence among the nation's finest colleges. Go Fleet!
