Appalachian Studies Courses

Summer and Fall 2023 Appalachian Studies-related Courses:

Many of these courses you would make relevant to APP through your choice of topics for projects & papers. You need to let Prof. Kingsolver (Director, Appalachian Studies Program, ann.kingsolver@uky.edu) know that you want any of these courses besides APP 200, or any appropriate course not on this list, to count toward your APP certificate or minor so she can make sure that happens.

If you are earning the APP undergraduate certificate: please note that all coursework needs to be at the 200+ level, with at least 6 hours 300-level or above, and no P/F. If you are earning the minor, any undergraduate course on this list is appropriate. Be sure to note all the cross-listings (listed by the first discipline, e.g., AAS 235/SOC 235), and decide how you want to register for the course – it counts either way for APP Studies, but you may also be able to count it toward your major or another program depending on how you sign up.
