St. Andrews Presbyterian College is a private, four-year liberal arts college in Laurinburg, North Carolina. It was established in 1958 as a result of the merger of Flora Macdonald College (est. 1896) and Presbyterian Junior College (est. 1928). The new college was named St. Andrews Presbyterian College to mark its Scottish Presbyterian heritage and to identify it with the University of St. Andrews, in Scotland. It officially opened its doors in 1961. Unusual for its time, the campus was designed to be accessible and barrier-free to students with physical disabilities. It is also home to the St. Andrews Press. The current president is Paul Baldasare, who was named by the Board of Trustees in December 2006. St. Andrews offers three Bachelor’s degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Fine Arts. It was one of the first institutions to implement a B.F.A. program for Creative Writing. The student-faculty ratio is low, 12:1, resulting in small classes and a personalized education. St.
