Voorhees University operates as a four-year liberal arts college in the higher education sector, with a focus on careers alongside a broad liberal arts curriculum. Founded in 1897 by Elizabeth Evelyn Wright-Menafee, the institution has roots as a historically Black college and maintains affiliations with the Episcopal Church and the United Negro College Fund. It is located in Denmark, South Carolina, and is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor’s degrees. The institution offers bachelor’s degrees across twelve disciplines and continues to develop its programs within its liberal arts framework. A notable development in 2026 is a partnership with the Western Atlantic University School of Medicine to provide medical degree pathways for Voorhees students.
