Hallmarks of a Lees-McRae College Education The Lees-McRae graduate will be known for academic achievement, professional skills, and concern for humanity. Through a variety of curricular and co-curricular experiences, Lees-McRae students will have opportunities which prepare them to: • Communicate effectively through writing and speaking • Think independently and critically when solving problems • Appreciate diversity and actively strive to collaborate with others • Develop informed career plans that include experiential learning • Exercise leadership and positive self-esteem • Express consideration of others and address concerns of humanity through service • Achieve physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being in harmony with intellectual accomplishment • Embrace technology when learning and communicating professionally • Experience Lees-McRae fully through year-round curricular, co-curricular, and/or work experiences • Demonstrate a lifelong interest in learning History of Lees-McRae “Banner’s Elk,” as the village was once called, is said to have been settled around 1850. By the end of the century, the Presbyterian Church was becoming established in the area. In the summer of 1895, Concord Presbytery sent a young student from Union Theological Seminary in Virginia to organize a church at Banner Elk. In 1897, the newly ordained Rev. Edgar Tufts returned as pastor of the church. In the winter of 1899, concerned with the limited offerings of the district school which was supplemented only by summer school work conducted by the church, Tufts took some of the young people of the neighborhood into his study for further instruction. This small group, called the Class of 1900, marks the beginning of Lees-McRae College. Tufts saw that this effort was not enough and that there was a need for a boarding school, especially for the girls of the mountain region. In 1900, a frame dormitory for 14 girls and one teacher opened after a small amount of money was raised and labor and lumber was promised. One of the summer school teachers was Mrs. Elizabeth A. McRae. Knowing the devoted character of her work, Tufts named the school for her. When a department for boys opened at Plumtree, he added the name of Mrs. Susanna P. Lees, who had been a generous benefactor. The Lees-McRae Institute was chartered by the state in 1907, and Tufts remained to serve the community until his death in 1923. In 1927, a fire consumed the Plumtree buildings, and the unit moved to Banner Elk. Lees-McRae Institute became Lees-McRae College in 1931, gradually eliminating the high school department to form an accredited, coeducational junior college. In 1987, the Board of Trustees of Lees-McRae College voted to seek senior college status. In June of 1990, the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools granted Lees-McRae status as a senior (four-year) college. To complement its four-year academic programs, Lees-McRae began offering degree completion programs in the early 2000s. The 2+2 programs enable students with existing associate degrees to complete their education at the baccalaureate level. The institution serves these non-traditional learners at off-campus sites and through online learning. In 2018, the college added its first graduate program—a Master of Arts in Teaching in Secondary Education. 6 Use of the College Catalog The Lees-McRae College Catalog outlines all academic programs of study for main and extended campus, as well as online, including complete listings of all required courses. The catalog also outlines admission, financial aid, and academic policies for all academic programs regardless of location. Use this publication as a resource manual and refer questions to the Office of the Registrar located in the Chaffee Center on the main campus in Banner Elk, North Carolina. It is the responsibility of the student to read and understand all information, including academic policies, published in the College Catalog. This catalog does not include all college policies and procedures. The Student Handbook is also an important resource. Academic Code of Honor Lees-McRae College fosters a spirit of complete honesty and a high standard of integrity.
