List of Spring 2025 courses that can be taken for credit toward APP certificate and minor / 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. Kingsolver (Director, Appalachian Studies Program, ann.kingsolver@uky.edu) know that you want any of these courses besides APP 200, or any other course not on this list, to count toward your APP undergrad or grad 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 course on this list is appropriate. Be sure to note all the cross-listings – courses appear here under the first listing -- and decide how you want to register for the course. It counts either way for APP, but you may also be able to count it toward your major or another program depending on how you sign up.
