List of Summer and Fall 2026 courses that can be taken to count toward the APP undergrad minor or certificate or APP grad certificate

Many of these courses you would make relevant to APP through your choice of topics for projects & papers. You need to let Prof. Cramer (Director, Appalachian Studies Program, jennifer.cramer@uky.edu) know that you want any of these courses (other than course courses – APP 200, for undergrads, and APP 700, for grads) to count toward your APP certificate or minor so she can work with A&S Advising or the Grad School to make that happen. 

UNDERGRADS: 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.

GRADS: Remember that besides the one-credit core course, APP 700, you need to take a three-credit guided elective course: Appalachian History, Sociology of Appalachia, or Global Appalachia. The other six hours are electives.
