In September 2011, the college's president, Paul Baldasare, Jr., class of 1977, announced the intention to change the name to "St. Andrews University" during the campus' Founders' Day celebration. Baldasare cited increased enrollment goals as well as plans to add graduate programs and expand online programs for adult learners as major reasons for the name change. The campus is located south of downtown Laurinburg, bounded on the west by U.S. Routes 15 and 401. There is a lake in the middle of campus. On the southern side of the campus is the Morgan-Jones Science Building, Avinger Auditorium, the Morgan Liberal Arts Building, the DeTamble Library, and the Vardell Building. There is a bridge from one side of the lake to an island to the other side of the lake. On the island is the campus bell tower. On the northern side of the campus is the Willam Henry Belk student center, where the Crossroads Cafeteria, student store, student mailboxes, and Office of Student Affairs are located. On the east side of this end of campus are four dorms, Concord, Granville, Wilmington, and Albemarle. On the west side are four more dorms, Winston-Salem, Pate, Mecklenburg, and Orange. Pate houses the Student Health & Wellness Center. Across from the Belk Center is the P.E. Building. On the far north end of campus, there are the athletic fields. The Equestrian Center is located off campus, approximately 2 miles south. The campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Andrews offers three bachelor's degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and 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. Andrews offers non-traditional students the opportunity to pursue degrees in Business Administration, Equine Business Management, Elementary Education, Liberal Studies, and courses leading to teacher certification, in an online, traditional classroom or blended format. In the fall of 2008 the college organized its degree offerings at Sandhills Community College (St. Andrews @ Sandhills), its online program and its other opportunities for non-traditional learners, under the umbrella of the St. Andrews Center for Adult and Professional Studies. Andrews has charters with the following honor societies: Alpha Chi, Beta Beta Beta, Omicron Delta Epsilon, Pi Gamma Mu, Psi Chi, Sigma Tau Delta, Sigma Beta Delta, and the St. Andrews Honor Society.
