GO WHERE YOU CAN GROW
Why Coker University is right for you
Why Coker?
The moment when someone really decides where they want to go to college usually happens when they discover a meaningful personal connection. That might mean connecting with a faculty member in the academic department you’re interested in, or a current student who leads you on a tour and shares their own experience. Or maybe, you’ll find a connection with an idea, or a part of the school’s culture and their community values.
Whatever kind of connection you’re looking for, we trust that you will know it when you experience it! Here are some of the reasons other students found a meaningful connection at Coker.
We Do This Together
In 1985 we made a choice, as a school, that would make a huge difference in how our students learn and connect with one another. We call it our Round Table Learning model.
Round Table Learning brings the ancient Socratic method of instruction and discussion into your classroom today for an experience you won’t find at other schools. Sharing ideas, discussing how they relate to the real world, helping one another grow, and finding your own confidence and leadership skills—these are all things that Round Table Learning will offer you.
All the classes at Coker University are structured to offer you the opportunity to be known and participate in meaningful ways, but Round Table classes are a truly unique learning experience.
Beyond the Books
You can tell so much about a university when you spend a little time on campus. Every school’s culture is unique. When you visit Coker University, it’s easy to be impressed by the beauty of our 15-acre campus in the heart of a thriving small town downtown.
But what really makes Coker University unique? Connected is one of the best ways to describe the feeling here. From our residence life programs to student activities to the ways we’ve designed our common spaces—we’re serious about giving you different ways to socialize and collaborate with one another! You won’t find that at every school, but it’s right at the heart of our commitment to community and scholarship.
Alma Mater
Coker College, hail to thee,
Home of honor, truth, and right.
Loyal always we will be
To our hallowed shrine of light.
Chorus:
In the heart of Carolina
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
‘Neath the blue of southern skies,
‘Neath the blue of southern skies,
‘Neath the blue of southern skies.
Through the halls of learning sound
Echoes of her spirit true
Guiding us with love profound
To our separate goals in view.
Tho’ we go our separate ways
In our hearts there’ll always be
Memories of these youthful days;
Coker College, hail to thee.
