District Days are coming to Coker University — and we’re helping local schools Fund the Bus!

We know transportation can sometimes be a barrier to visiting campus, so Coker is helping cover transportation costs for participating schools on designated District Days. Come see campus, meet the Coker community, and see why Coker may be closer than you think. https://bit.ly/4y0mg0d

*All students and families are welcome to attend any of the open house days.

Coker University is facilitating campus visits for local high schools by funding transportation costs, making college access easier for students.

A first look at Linville as it reopens for the new school year! We will continue to add finishing touches to make it feel like home again, but today - we are so excited that the doors are open and we can serve our students in this great dining hall. We can’t wait to gather, connect, and build community around these tables again.
