What Undergraduate Programs Does App State Offer?

Updated

Appalachian State University offers more than 150 undergraduate degree programs across fields including business, education, engineering, arts and sciences. According to the admissions site, these programs are taught by expert faculty in small classes designed to allow high-quality student–faculty interaction, and they are paired with undergraduate research opportunities and service experiences in local and regional communities. The site also notes that programs are available in Boone, in Hickory, and online.

What the Program Range Covers

The admissions page describes its undergraduate offerings as "a diverse range of undergraduate programs" intended to prepare students for success in their chosen field. The fields it names explicitly are:

  • Business
  • Education
  • Engineering
  • Arts and sciences

The page does not list individual majors or department-level details. For a specific program, the site's "Explore Majors" link is the entry point it provides for browsing offerings.

What Else Comes With the Degree

The admissions page frames academics alongside two other elements of the App State experience:

Element What the site says
Academic programs 150+ undergraduate degree programs; rigorous coursework taught by expert faculty
Class experience Small class sizes that allow high-quality student and faculty interaction
Research and service Excellent undergraduate research opportunities and service experiences in local and regional communities
Campus life 400+ student clubs and organizations; community service projects and cultural events
Career support Connections with industry leaders; career services support for internships, co-ops and full-time employment after graduation

The page also cites a U.S. News and World Report 2024 ranking of #2 in Top Public Universities in the South.

How to Explore Majors

The admissions site offers a direct "Explore Majors" link alongside "Request Information," "Tour Campus," and "Check Your Status." That link is the practical starting point for moving from the general 150+ program count to a specific field of study.

If you want to see the campus and programs in person, the site lists Fall Open House on October 17 in Boone and October 24 in Hickory. The page describes Open House as a chance to meet faculty and students, tour campus, and learn about financial aid, scholarships, the admissions process, and student life. Registration is handled through the Open House registration link on the site.

For prospective students who want ongoing updates, the site offers a mailing list sign-up and assigns each applicant an admission counselor to work with throughout the college search process.

What the Page Does Not Specify

The admissions page does not break down programs by college or department, does not list admission requirements for specific majors, and does not state tuition or costs. Those details would need to come from the individual program pages reached through "Explore Majors" or from the site's "Cost" section.
