The campus is a living laboratory where faculty help students transform theory into practice — a process that fosters responsible citizens. Appalachian’s learning environment feels like that of a smaller school, but it offers 150 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Repeatedly cited as a best value in public education by the like of U.S. News and World Report, and the Princeton Review, Appalachian develops future leaders in business, education, science, the arts, communication, music, health sciences, energy-focused green technology, and other fields. Problem Solvers and Thought Leaders The College of Arts and Sciences nurtures students’ capabilities in research, creative thinking, and problem solving through 80 different majors, with sustainability as a key theme. The college proudly claims North Carolina’s seventh poet laureate, Joseph Bathanti, award-winning poet, professor, and advocate for literacy. Appalachian’s Honors College offers preparation for everything from medical school to public service careers. Combining academic mentoring with a sophisticated introduction to interdisciplinary and graduate-level scholarship, national and international academic and service projects help Honors students gain experience and reach their full potential. Year-Round Learning Throughout the year, Appalachian offers educational and recreational conferences and camps to the public. Many of these opportunities take place in the new, state-of-the-art, LEED® – Gold–certified student union. Youth camps and adult programs support lifelong learning and include a variety of sports and academic camps, courses in forensic anthropology and science, anatomy, physiology, and animal studies, plus an annual horticulture symposium.
