Honors College

What is the Honors College?

The Honors College at Appalachian State University supports over 500 students from all majors. We empower students, faculty, and staff from across campus to explore, discover, create, innovate, learn and grow together. We support students’ individual holistic development and engagement beyond themselves, across disciplinary boundaries, and in collaboration with others. The hallmarks of App State’s Honors College include:

• Small, discussion-based, interdisciplinary courses
• Personalized and holistic mentoring and advising
• The Honors College residential learning community
• Study abroad or other international education opportunities
• A closely mentored research or creative project (Honors thesis)

When you make a gift to the Honors College Fund, you are equipping our high-achieving and highly motivated Mountaineers to make the most of their time at App State.
