During the winter term of the first year, Fellows take HST2410: American History Study Tour. This history course is taught by two Elon professors and begins with a few days of class on campus. Students then embark on a two-week bus tour during which time they visit historical sites along the Eastern seaboard, in locations such as Charleston, St. Augustine, Tallahassee, Chattanooga, and Asheville. Through this experience, the students listen to historical interpretation and learn to critically assess the values and motivations of the interpreters.
