Young Harris College is a private liberal arts institution located in the northern Georgia mountains, approximately two hours from Atlanta and nestled in the Appalachian town of Young Harris. Originally established in 1886 as a Methodist seminary, the college transformed from a two-year to a four-year institution in 2008, marking a significant expansion of its academic offerings. The 250-acre mountain campus features a mix of historic and modern buildings, including recently constructed residence halls where most students live on campus. Young Harris focuses on undergraduate education with prominent programs in business, education, and outdoor leadership, while maintaining small class sizes and emphasizing experiential learning. The college competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Mountain Lions, with notable programs in baseball and soccer.
