What Makes Lees-McRae College Unique?

Every college will give you quick facts about student to professor ratio, class sizes and other common figures. While our statistics are impressive, they don't define who we are. It is our approach towards educating the mind, body and spirit of every student that sets us apart from all others.

We provide a nurturing environment that encourages intellectual, spiritual, physical and social growth. Our professors do so by combining learning with leadership development and community outreach. Our graduates will be able to think critically, adapt to a changing technological and global society, and value lifelong learning, integrity and responsibility.

It is the goal of the faculty, staff, and student body to create and further an academic community centered around our motto “In the Mountains, Of the Mountains, For the Mountains.” With small class sizes and a liberal arts approach to education, you will find that Lees-McRae College is the perfect environment for students to realize their potential both in the classroom and in the community.
