Davis & Elkins College

Davis & Elkins College (D&E) is a private college in Elkins, West Virginia, United States. It operates as a nonprofit liberal arts college and is affiliated with the Association of Presbyterian Colleges and Universities.

The school was founded in 1904 and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. It was named for Henry G. Davis and his son-in-law Stephen B. Elkins, who were both members of the United States Senate from West Virginia.

While the original campus was located in south Elkins, the current campus was established when Hallie Davis Elkins donated Halliehurst Mansion and the surrounding estate in 1924.

The Aurora literary magazine was founded at D&E in 1963 (initially as the Adum magazine).

D&E offers 45 degree programs, including 33 bachelor's degrees, 6 associate's degrees, and 6 pre-professional programs. Students can also choose from 36 minors and an honors program.

The Morrison-Novakovic Center for Faith and Public Policy was founded at Davis & Elkins College in 2017.

The college also has a supported learning program hosted by the Naylor Learning Center (NLC). The NLC provides academic support, courses, and workshops for all students, and it has additional services for students with learning disabilities. Other academic services are provided by the Booth Library and the Davis & Elkins College Writing Center.

D&E also hosts a range of regular speaker series, including the William E. Phipps Religion & Philosophy Interdisciplinary Lecture and the Dr. Bill King Writer's Week event. The Phipps lectureship brings scholars from a wide range of backgrounds to campus to discuss religion, philosophy, and related disciplines, while Writer's Week is an endowed speaker series that hosts award-winning authors.[citation needed]
