Undergraduate Programs

All of Appalachian State University's undergraduate distance education programs are transfer programs and thus, offer only the upper division (junior and senior level) coursework. No freshman or sophomore courses are offered. Prospective applicants should insure that they have completed the required minimum lower division coursework at one or more regionally accredited institutions. Appalachian's general education requirement can be met by completing the Associate in Arts or the Associate in Science Degree or the 44-Hour Core through a North Carolina Community College. Coursework for applicants who hold associate degrees from other states will be articulated on a course-by-course basis. Prospective RN to BSN program applicants should refer to the Program Information Page for transfer information. Associate in Applied Science Degrees are not accepted for transfer, and coursework completed as part of these applied science degrees is articulated and accepted on a course-by-course basis.

Graduate Programs
