What does Voorhees University offer in terms of athletics?

The Voorhees Tigers compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), within the HBCU Athletic Conference. Reported sports and athletic activities include basketball, baseball, softball, cross-country, track and field, and cheerleading.

Varsity participation involves team selection, training, and travel rather than open recreational play. A prospective athlete should confirm the current team roster, recruiting process, eligibility rules, and financial-aid arrangements with the athletics department. Students who want casual exercise or intramural play should check the current campus recreation schedule rather than assume a varsity sport is available in that format.

What student groups and Associations are available at Voorhees University?

Students can participate in campus activities beyond classes and varsity sports. Reported opportunities include a student-run newspaper, student radio, theater, and choral groups, giving students ways to write, perform, produce media, or work with peers.

Organization rosters and meeting schedules can change from year to year. Applicants looking for a particular academic, service, cultural, or religious group should check the current student-activities directory and ask whether the group is active. That distinction matters when a specific organization is part of the reason for choosing a college.

Who studies at Voorhees University?

Voorhees is a small university, with 578 students in the reported enrollment figures. Its size may shape how students experience classes and campus activities, although enrollment alone cannot establish how much individual attention a particular course provides. The reported student-to-faculty ratio is 13 to 1.

The student body includes both traditional-age and older learners. Students ages 18-21 account for a substantial portion of enrollment, while students in their thirties, forties, and fifties also attend. Reported entering enrollment includes 120 first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates and 38 transfer-in students. The university's historically Black identity is also reflected in its enrollment: a reported 384 students identified as Black or African American.

How does student life look like at Voorhees University?

Campus life at Voorhees brings together a substantial residential population and students who commute. About 70% of students are reported to live on campus, so evening activities and shared campus spaces may be an important part of the experience for residents; commuters should consider how event times fit their travel schedules.

Students have reported access to a health clinic and personal or psychological counseling, as well as a veterans affairs office. Those services sit alongside academic, cultural, and performance activities. A prospective student with a particular health, accessibility, or scheduling need should check the relevant office's current services and hours rather than assume every service operates at all times.

What libraries are available to students at Voorhees University?

Wright-Potts Library is Voorhees University's main campus library. It is a starting point for course research, locating academic materials, and obtaining help with sources beyond a general web search.

Students whose assignments require specialized journals, databases, or materials held elsewhere should ask library staff about access, research assistance, and borrowing arrangements. Current library hours, available study spaces, and remote-access instructions are especially relevant to commuters and students taking evening or online classes.
