Here, the classroom is just the beginning. 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.
