During his administration, the College developed the Honors Degree program for exceptionally well-prepared and qualified students. He also established graduate programs in education and business, and the Hamilton Holt School and Brevard Campus.The Hugh McKean Presidential Records are arranged in four series: Personal Files, Policy Files, General College Affairs, and Chancellorship.
