Young Harris College History
Brief History of Young Harris College
Young Harris College was founded in January 1886 by Methodist circuit-riding minister Rev.
Artemas Lester who saw the need for education for youth in the area. The College was soon
adopted by what is now the North Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church. Judge
Young L. G. Harris of Athens, Georgia, became the College’s first major benefactor, and the institute
and town changed their names from McTyeire to recognize his generosity. The College was
renamed Young Harris Institute and, post-1891, came to be known as Young Harris College.
Young Harris College has always strived to provide an academic program best suited for its
students. During its first two decades, the College offered elementary and high school programs,
along with awarding the bachelor of science and the bachelor of arts degrees. By 1958, Young
Harris College only offered the two-year college program. However, after much research by the
trustees, faculty, staff, and administrators, the board of trustees voted in April 2007 to allow Young
Harris College to move from awarding associate degrees to becoming a baccalaureate degree
granting institution. In December 2008, the College earned approval from the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools to begin awarding baccalaureate degrees in fall 2009. In May 2011, the
College graduated its first class of college seniors since its first two decades of existence, and in
June received its ten year reaffirmation. As of August 2018, the College offers twenty –five bacca-
laureate programs, twenty-two minors, eight post-baccalaureate education programs, and four
secondary certifications.
In the 133 years since it was established, Young Harris College has evolved from a log store-
house into a thriving campus. In addition to enhancing its physical facilities, the College has
continued to strengthen its faculty, instruction, and curriculum. Throughout late 2007 and summer
2008, the College underwent a comprehensive Master Planning process which is providing direction
for the institution for the next twenty to thirty years as its facilities grow to meet the needs of its
students. A 200-bed residence hall, Enotah, opened in fall 2009, and a new state-of-the-art Recrea-
tion Center and twelve-court tennis center opened in fall 2010, and fall 2011 a new village opened,
housing 148 students. The Towers, a unique housing community for first-year students opened in
fall 2013. In fall 2014 ,Young Harris College opened the Rollins Campus Center. The Rollins
Campus Center connects four distinct areas in a single, state-of-the-art structure: a 60,000-square-
foot multi-purpose student center, an expanded dining hall boasting a wide variety of food stations,
a 350-seat, versatile banquet facility and a 40,000-square-foot modern library.
Noted alumni include: former Georgia Governor and U. S. Senator Zell Miller ’51, U.S.
Senator Earl L. ‘Buddy” Carter ’77, former Georgia Governor E.D. Rivers ’15; W. Henry Duckworth
’17, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia; former Congressmen Jack Brinkley ’49 and Ed
Jenkins ’51; George Berry ’57, Metropolitan Atlanta Olympic Games Authority Chairman; Tom
Forkner ’37, co-founder of Waffle House; George Broadrick ’44, former President of First Citizens
Bank & Trust Co., North Carolina; James R. Gaskin ’40, former Dean of the Graduate School,
University of North Carolina; entertainers Oliver Hardy 1902, Amanda Bearse ’79, Ronnie Milsap
3
’64, and Trisha Yearwood ’84; United Methodist bishops Charles W. Hancock ’44 and Marion
Edwards ’59, Lydia Jackson Sartain ’79, former district attorney of Northeastern Judicial Circuit;
Jimmy Tallent ’72, Executive Chairman of United Community Banks, Inc.; and professional baseball
players Nicholas “Nick” Markakis ’03, Billy Buckner ’03, Charlie Blackmon ’06, and Cory Gearrin ’06.
Young Harris College has entered its second century with excellent faculty, a dedicated board
of trustees, administration, staff, and alumni association. A strong commitment to the theme of
enhancing excellence during the second century will allow the College to continue its basic mission
of providing a value-centered liberal arts education of high quality with emphasis on the individual
talents and needs of each student.

General Education Curriculum
General Education Curriculum
The goal of the Young Harris College core curriculum is to enable each student, through rigorous study in the
liberal arts, to do the following. Please see the notes that follow the categories and credit-hour requirements
for important information about course options and course credit.
Communicate Effectively (9 hours)
Students complete three courses that challenge them to develop written and spoken skills fundamental to
responsible communication.
"The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any
medium—that is, of any extension of ourselves—result from the new scale that is introduced into our
affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology." Marshall McLuhan
Investigate Nature (7 hours)
Students complete two courses that challenge them to develop their skills and knowledge in the natural
sciences. At least one course must include a lab component and challenge students to apply their skills
and knowledge in laboratory and experimental settings.
"Natural science does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature
and ourselves." Werner Heisenberg
Explore Mathematics (3 hours)
Students complete one MATH-prefixed course that challenges them to develop their abilities to solve
problems by analyzing properties of functions and investigating relationships among functions. Course is
determined by placement.
"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas." Albert Einstein
Interpret Texts (6 hours)
Students complete two courses that challenge them to develop their ability to interpret and analyze diffi-
cult texts. Courses in this category include substantial reading assignments and require close analysis of
challenging primary or secondary texts.
"All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation." George Eliot
12
Analyze Societies (6 hours)
Students complete two courses that challenge them to develop their comprehension of historical and
social powers and effects. All students must take at least one course that fulfills the Georgia Board of
Regents' mandate that all graduates successfully complete coursework in U. S. and GA history and the
U. S. and GA Constitution*.
"Even if one is interested only in one's own society, which is one's prerogative, one can understand that
society much better by comparing it with others." Peter L. Berger
Know Oneself (3 hours)
Students complete one course that develops their proficiency in self-analysis.
"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates
Engage Art (3 hours)
Students complete one course that challenges them to develop their creativity and understanding of fine
or performing arts.
"Interpretation is the revenge of the intellectual upon art." Susan Sontag
Expand Horizons (6 hours)
Students complete courses that challenge them to develop their familiarity and fluency in diverse cultures
through the study of foreign language.
"No matter how far a person can go, the horizon is still way beyond you." Zora Neale Hurston
Foreign Language—Students begin study of foreign language in FREN or SPAN 101 and demonstrate
competency by successfully completing FREN/SPAN 1102
Exceptions to the foreign language requirement are as follows:
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, Business & Public Policy, Chemistry, Educa-tion, Environmental Science, Interdisciplinary Studies, Mathematics, Psychology, or Outdoor Leadership, A Bachelor of Music Education degree, or a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theater are not re-quired to complete studies in a foreign language.
Students whose French or Spanish skills ae sufficiently developed may elect to take the Foreign Language Placement test to assess their skill level. Students who place into FREN/SPAN 1102 will satisfy the foreign language requirement by successfully completing this course. Students who place above FREN/SPAN 1102 will confirm competency through an interview with the Foreign Language faculty. Students who do not demonstrate competency through this interview will be placed in the appropriate FREN/SPAN course.
13
Heritage speakers (students who speak French or Spanish and earned their high school diploma in the
U.S.) fulfill the foreign language requirement by takin one three-hour course, either FREN 2600 French
for the Heritage Speaker or SPAN 2600 Spanish for the Heritage Speaker.
Native speakers (students who earned their high school diploma in a country whose official language is
not English) may exempt the foreign language requirement.
THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE PLACEMENT TEST
The Foreign Language Placement Test is offered during START orientation and at least once in each fall and spring semester. The test requires a small fee, which is published in the YHC Catalog in the section on the Business Office. Students may take the placement test only once. Students who plan to take the Foreign Language Placement Test are encouraged to do so early in their college careers, particularly if they will pursue a language in college that they studied in high school.
Note: Students required to take fewer than six hours of foreign language coursework may elect to take six hours in Foreign Language if they wish. Otherwise, students must take the necessary hours as additional general electives.
Total General Education Hours: 37-43
Course Options- To encourage students to take courses in a variety of disciplines while still allowing
choice in selecting the courses used to fulfill core requirements, students may take no more than one
course in a given discipline to complete core requirements. A discipline is defined as a distinct body of
academic study, regardless of departmental designation. (For example, Religious Studies is a separate
discipline from Philosophy.) The one course per discipline includes the following exceptions.
(1)Students can take one additional 2000-level course in English beyond the two-course composition
sequence (ENGL 1101 and 1102).
(2)Students can take one additional Communications Studies course beyond the course used to fulfill
the speaking requirement (COMM 1000 or 1100).
(3) Students pursuing certain professional degrees with discipline-specific accreditation may be allowed
to take more than one course in the area of focus.
(4) Students can take two courses in the same foreign language.
(5) Students can take two courses in the same discipline in natural sciences.
Course Credit- A single course cannot be used to complete requirements for more than one category.
For example, a student taking Art History I could apply this course to either the "Interpret Texts" or
"Analyze Art" category, but not both.
Cross-listed Courses- Courses listed in more than one discipline can be counted in one discipline or the
other, but not both. For example, a course listed as SOCI/PSYC could be counted as a SOCI or PSYC
course, but not both.

Library
In Fall 2014 Young Harris College opened the 40,000 square foot Zell and Shirley Miller
Library in the Rollins Campus Center. This building houses the Library collection of monographs,
reference books, scores, and audio-visual materials while providing innovative spaces for students
to study and collaborate.
The library has memberships in Lyrasis, Online Computing Library Center (OCLC),
and Georgia’s Private Academic Libraries (GPALS). The library participates in the World Catalog
(OCLC), allowing borrowing from libraries all over the world, and is an active lender in the Interlibrary
Loan process. GPALS provides access to Georgia Library Learning Online (GALILEO), giving the
campus users searching capabilities in more than thousands of periodicals and conference proceed-
ings. Additionally, the library subscribes to other electronic databases including JSTOR, Naxos,
BioOne, ScienceDirect, PsycArticles, and Communication and Mass Media Complete. The Library
maintains a webpage to allow easy access to electronic resources from anywhere on campus, or off
campus via YHC Connect.
Also included in the library special collections are Young Harris College Archives, the
Byron Herbert Reece Collection, the Merle B. Mann Collection of Native American artifacts, and
the Ogletree Lincolniana Collection.
