History is, at its most basic level, about storytelling. Historians write narratives that explore the past, and are relevant to the present. Everything has a history, but the way this history is told is often highly contested. In the history program, you will develop a body of knowledge about the past, but more importantly, they will learn how to critically examine the past through writing and in-class discussion. The ability to tell a compelling story, that is both backed by evidence and that makes a serious point, is of utmost importance no matter what career one ends up in.

What You’ll Study
In addition to traditional course offerings on subjects like the Civil War, History of the South, World War 2 and Modern Europe, the program includes new courses that reflect the latest changes in scholarship and that coincide with the evolution and growth of Lees-McRae. Examples include a course on the history of disease and epidemics and a course on sports history. In these courses, you will read works from historians, conduct research on primary sources and practice writing and discussion skills.
Beyond the Classroom
You'll have the opportunity to complete internships at local historic sites like Horn in the West, the Banner Elk House Museum, the Hickory Ridge Museum and more.
