A. THE MAJOR
Designed and supervised by instructional departments, the major requires
detailed study in a discipline or interdisciplinary field with a designated
number of hours of coursework in the discipline or field beyond the Core
Curriculum. It will also advance Appalachian's Core Curriculum goals by
requiring at least two courses designated as writing "W" and one speaking "S",
provide evidence of proficiency in communications, offer opportunities to use
computers and apply computational skills where appropriate. The major will
also support the University's educational goals by encouraging awareness of
cultural diversity, pointing out issues and problems facing the contemporary
world, introducing students to the methods of inquiry utilized in the
discipline, fostering an understanding of and respect for diverse opinions and
ideas, encouraging a commitment to lifelong learning, informing students about
the ethical issues and ethical behavior expected from them in their academic
life and future careers, and providing information about suitable careers.

B. THE CORE CURRICULUM
The Core Curriculum provides a foundation for the liberal education of every
undergraduate at Appalachian. It also serves as a framework for students to
engage in common and unifying learning experiences within the diversity of the
University. Core Curriculum courses are intended for the non-specialist/non-
major and are designed to broaden awareness, cultivate the intellect and
develop lifelong learning skills. Each Core Curriculum requirement advances
the objectives of one or more of Appalachian's educational goals. The ultimate
aim of the Core Curriculum is to enable our students to make informed,
creative and responsible contributions to our changing world.
The Core Curriculum has two parts. First is a set of core courses required in
all undergraduate degrees which are listed in #1 below. Second are additional
requirements called special designator courses which are described and
listed in #2 below.
1. Core Courses.......................................44 s.h.
Minimum Criteria for Core Curriculum Courses
All Core Curriculum courses shall:
- Introduce students to a major body of knowledge in one or more disciplines.
- Explore the major concepts, methodologies, sources of evidence and critical
reasoning skills utilized in these fields of knowledge.
- Explain the importance of the subject to liberal arts education and the
student's future.
- Cultivate learning skills that can be utilized throughout a university career
and after.
The following are required:
a. ENGLISH...................................................6 s.h.
English 1000(W) - 1100(W) required.
English Honors 1510(W) substitutes for English 1100(W).
While the majority of freshmen will enroll in English 1000, selected
categories of students will be required to take an English placement test
during Orientation. Based on the results of this test, students will be placed
in either English 0900 (a developmental course), English 1000, or English 1100.
Transfer students who have not completed the equivalent of English 1000 will be
required to take an English placement test during Orientation. Based on the
results of this test, the student will be placed into either English 0900 (a
developmental course), English 1000 or English 1100.
Until these requirements are met, students may not take any other "W"
designated course.
b. HUMANITIES...............................................12 s.h.
FOUR courses must be selected from at least three areas listed below. One of
the courses must be literature and one must be from the fine arts (ART, DANCE,
MUSIC or THEATRE). COURSES APPROVED FOR LITERATURE ARE MARKED WITH AN ASTERISK.

Foreign Language Placement Exam Requirement:
In French, German, Latin, and Spanish, and in other languages where
available, a language placement exam is required of all entering students and
all upper-level students who have not previously taken the placement test
before enrolling in their first language course at ASU. The placement exam
score remains valid for two years and then must be retaken before a student may
enroll in a first foreign language course at ASU.
Students are expected to enroll in the course indicated by the results of their
exam. When warranted, a student's placement level may be adjusted after
consultation with the foreign language advisor.
A student who enrolls in a course lower than the placement level indicated will
not be granted credit for the course. Courses taken below the placement level
count as credit toward course load and full-time student eligibility, but do
not count toward hours required for graduation and will not be calculated as
part of the GPA.
Placement credit will be awarded to students ONLY if they successfully complete
(with a C or better) the course they score into. Placement credit will be
awarded in the following manner:
-- Students placing into and successfully completing 1020 receive placement
credit for 1010.
-- Students placing into and successfully completing 1040 receive placement
credit for 1010 and 1020.
-- Students placing into and successfully completing 1050 receive placement
credit for 1020 and 1040.
-- Students placing into the 2000 level (advanced) may choose any 2000 level
class as a validation course. Successfully completing the 2000 level class
would gain placement credit for 1040 and 1050.
Transfer students with college credit in a foreign language who wish to
continue in the same language are not required to take the placement test.
However, transfer students are encouraged to consult with the faculty advisor
for that language.

2. Special Designator Requirements
In addition to Core Curriculum courses, students must also complete a number
of specially designated courses distributed throughout the curriculum. Some
introduce students to essential skills and knowledge in Core Curriculum
courses, while others in the major and advanced courses reinforce and expand
upon the skills and knowledge acquired at the introductory level.
Summary of Special Designator Requirements
6 W (Writing) courses (includes English 1000 & 1100; two courses must be in
the major).
4 MC (Multi-Cultural) courses (History 1101, 1102 and two additional MC
courses).
2 ND (Numerical Data) courses
(ND Prerequisite: Passing the math placement test or successful
completion of MAT 0010.)
2 C (Computer) courses
1 S (Speaking) course (must be taken in the major).
1 CD (Cross-Disciplinary) course
CPC (Certified Proficiency in Communications) within major department.
Note: With the exceptions indicated above, courses that meet designator
requirements can come from the Core Curriculum, the major, the minor, and/or
electives. For those required "in the major," major is defined as any course
specified as a requirement within that particular program of study whether
inside or outside the major department. If a course is assigned a special
designator, all sections of the course will carry that designator.
a. Communications Skills
The ability to write and speak clearly and effectively is a mark of an
educated person. These skills must be practiced throughout the curriculum.
Appalachian students are required to complete six writing intensive courses,
two of which must be English 1000-1100, and two of which must be in the major.
These courses must contain substantial writing that is evaluated not only on
the basis of content, but also on clarity, effectiveness and mechanical
correctness. Each writing intensive course will be designated "W" (Writing).
All students will also take one course that requires formal speaking.
Designated with an "S" (Speaking), this course must require oral presentations
of a formal nature that are evaluated not only on content, but also on quality
of presentation. The speaking course must be taken in the major, though not
necessarily within the major department.
As a graduation requirement, each department is responsible for certifying
proficiency in writing and speaking for each of its majors. Students seeking a
major must contact their major department for requirements for certification.
b. Computational Skills
It is increasingly important for students to understand, use, and interpret
numerical data and be familiar with computers. The centrality of numbers and
computers in almost every profession or career, as well as in daily life,
makes it essential for students to become familiar with the application of
mathematical principles and computers.
To achieve a practical understanding of numerical data, all students will be
required to take two courses that include, for example, substantial use and
interpretations of statistics and graphs. Such courses will be designated "ND".
(Prerequisite: Students will be required to pass the math placement test or
successful completion of MAT 0010 before taking an "ND" special designator
course.)
To strengthen computer skills, all students are required to take at least two
courses that require substantial use of computers. Such courses will be
designated "C" courses. Computer use in "C" courses must be integral to course
content. Computer tasks may include, but are not limited to:
- use of discipline-specific software and services,
- design and implementation of computer programs,
- study of computer systems, networks, or architectural concepts, and
- development of skills in using computers as learning tools.
Because of advances in computing technology, the "C" designator will be
reviewed periodically.
c. International and Multi-Cultural Awareness
The diversity of our nation's populations and the growing recognition of
global interdependence make it imperative that students develop an
understanding of the identities, values and histories of other cultures and
nations. To achieve this goal, all students are required to complete four
multi-cultural courses including History 1101 and 1102. In order for a course
to receive the "MC" designation, it must focus significant attention on
cultural patterns beyond the American mainstream. Courses involving
substantial study-abroad experience will automatically receive the "MC"
designation.
d. Cross-Disciplinary Courses
Departments are encouraged to develop cross-disciplinary "CD" designator
courses throughout the undergraduate curriculum. Students are required to take
one "CD" course in meeting the cross-disciplinary requirements. Cross
disciplinary courses shall:
- Explore topics from the perspective of two or more disciplines.
- Incorporate readings, analyses and evaluation measures that ensure a
cross-disciplinary perspective.
- Include faculty from two or more disciplines when team taught.
- Utilize selected topics course numbers when not accommodated by the regular
curriculum. Unlike other selected topics courses, these must be given the
same consideration as other Core Curriculum courses, i.e. be approved by the
Core Curriculum Council and the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee.
LISTED BELOW ARE THE CORE CURRICULUM/SPECIAL DESIGNATOR COURSES APPROVED AT THE
TIME OF PUBLICATION OF THIS UNDERGRADUATE BULLETIN. THE COURSES ARE LISTED
ALPHABETICALLY BY THE COURSE PREFIX UNDER EACH APPROPRIATE COLLEGE/SCHOOL.
PLEASE CHECK EACH SEMESTER'S SCHEDULE OF CLASSES FOR AN UPDATED LIST OF
APPROVED SPECIAL DESIGNATOR COURSES, AND/OR REFER TO THE FOLLOWING WEB SITE:
http://www.appstate.edu/www_docs/depart/facstaff/app/designator.html
(NOTE: All International Programs courses have been approved for the "MC"
special designator. The Director of International Programs will submit a list
of all International Programs courses each semester to the Core Curriculum
Council.)

C. REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS REGARDING CORE CURRICULUM AND SPECIAL
DESIGNATORS
1. Transfer students must meet the University's core curriculum and special
designator requirements by completing coursework at either Appalachian or
other approved collegiate institutions.
2. A transfer course accepted as equivalent to an Appalachian course will be
assigned the appropriate University course number and will, as such, meet
all applicable core curriculum and special designator requirements.
3. Transfer students who have not completed the equivalent of English 1000
will be required to take a placement test during Orientation. Based on the
score received, the student will be placed into either English 0900 (a
developmental course), English 1000, or English 1100.
4. All transfer students are required to take the Math test.
-- Students WITHOUT equivalent math transfer credit take the test for
placement. If a passing score of 10 is not obtained, the student may
take one retest (must score 12 on the retest). Students who do not
retest or fail the retest, must take MAT 0010, Developmental Math.
Students must pass the placement test or MAT 0010 before taking any
numerical data "ND" designator courses. Students are expected to
demonstrate this competence as soon as possible after entering the
University, and must achieve it before graduation.
-- Students WITH equivalent math transfer credit take the test for
advising purposes only. If a score of 10 is not obtained and the
student plans to take additional math or numerical designated "ND"
coursework, the student is advised, but not required, to take MAT 0010
to solidify math skills.
5. The University's assignment of transfer credit to meet core curriculum
and/or special designator requirements can be appealed. Students who wish
to appeal should contact the Office of General Studies.
D. SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Academic Support
LEARNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Web Site: www.gstudies.appstate.edu (click on LEARNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM)
The Learning Assistance Program is an academic support program designed to
assist students in achieving their educational goals. The program provides
services to students that include tutoring in Core Curriculum courses,
supplemental instruction for courses that are extremely demanding and have
complex reading requirements, and learning skills courses and workshops.
Special populations of students who are at risk are provided a comprehensive
system of support which includes tutoring, academic advising, counseling,
orientation, instruction, and study skills to enable them to be successful in
their academic work. See GENERAL STUDIES for descriptions of the components of
the Learning Assistance Program. The program is located in Room 204 of D.D.
Dougherty Hall, (828) 262-2291.
Learning Communities
Learning communities are groups of people who join together to discuss,
explore, and learn about a shared academic interest or common topic. Some
learning communities are designed so that individuals live together in the same
residence hall and take classes with one another. Other learning communities
enroll small groups of students in 2 or 3 classes that are coordinated around a
specific theme, academic major or discipline. The purpose of these communities
is to make it easier for students to form study groups and integrate class
materials while making friends, exploring majors and discovering potential
career choices.
All first-semester freshmen are advised to participate in a learning community
during their first semester at Appalachian in order to ensure a strong academic
start. There are a variety of freshman learning community options including
Freshman Learning Communities in General Studies, Summer Preview, Watauga
Residential College, Army ROTC, Student Support Services, Honors, Plemmons
Fellows, and North Carolina Teaching Fellows. If you have not identified a
learning community prior to Phase I Orientation in the summer, an academic
advisor can assist you in selecting one during your academic planning session.
FRESHMAN LEARNING COMMUNITIES IN GENERAL STUDIES (FLC)
Web Site: www.gstudies.appstate.edu (click on FRESHMAN LEARNING COMMUNITIES)
Joni Webb Petschauer, Director
Nikki Crees, Assistant Director
Most freshmen entering Appalachian in the fall semester will participate in
Freshman Learning Communities (FLC) in General Studies.* This program provides
a way for students who share similar academic interests or career aspirations
to take classes together during the first semester of their freshman year. An
FLC is a group of 15-25 students enrolled in one to three fall semester classes
that are organized around a common theme, skill, or career direction. An
academic success team works with each FLC and can consist of the course faculty
members, an academic advisor, a librarian, and a peer mentor (resident
assistant, peer leader, or tutor). All course work in an FLC receives
graduation credit and does not restrict a student's choice of majors. In this
program, students can more easily form study groups and integrate class
material while making friends, exploring majors, and discovering potential
career choices. Different FLCs are offered each year and have included such
topics as: Applications in Design, Communication in the Business World,
Forensic Science, Exploring Majors, Foundations for the Legal Professions,
Belief and Society, Science/Pre-Med, Studies in Child and Family Development,
and many more. A complete list of current offerings will be made available
during Phase I Orientation in the summer and students are enrolled in the
appropriate course selections at that time.
* Students who enroll in the Watauga Residential College or Summer Preview
Programs will be members of those communities and would not be eligible to
participate in Freshman Learning Communities in General Studies.
FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Web Site: www.freshmanseminar.appstate.edu
Rennie Brantz, Ph.D., Director
Freshman Seminar is a three (3) credit hour course designed to assist first
semester freshmen with the transition from high school to the University. The
course presents a mix of discussions, short lectures, class activities and
other learning experiences in a small group setting. Professors are selected
from all academic disciplines based on their demonstrated commitment to and
care for freshmen.
Students learn about Appalachian and its resources, strengthen study and
computing skills, explore academic opportunities, and participate in campus
cultural life. Working closely with an experienced faculty member, each student
sets priorities and develops long-term goals while managing the daily
responsibilities of the freshman year.
See the course description (US 1150) under the University Studies course
listings.

Participation in the Watauga Residential College offers first-year students at
Appalachian a unique opportunity to connect their academic and intellectual
life with their personal and social development. The program is designed to
help students connect what they learn in various classes and what they learn in
life.
Students will take about 2/3 of their total course work in the Watauga

students) are discussion oriented allowing students to share ideas, opinions,
and information, and ultimately learn together.
Watauga Residential College students live in the same residence hall as they
take their classes, and faculty have their offices. As a result, the Program is
a comprehensive learning community that blends together academic, social, and
cultural activities.
The program consists of a diverse group of students from a variety of ethnic,
political, religious, and geographic backgrounds. Computer enthusiasts and
creative writers, artists and scientists, actors and activists, entrepreneurs
and missionaries have all felt equally at home in the Watauga Residential
College.

providing honors courses in anthropology, business, chemistry, communication,
computer science, English, geography and planning, geology, history,
mathematical sciences, philosophy and religion, physics and astronomy,

Several disciplines offer departmental honors for their majors. Check for
requirements and procedures in the catalog section for specific departments.
Most departmental honors programs will require at least nine hours in
departmental honors courses, including a three hour senior honors project.
Honors courses are frequently conducted as seminars where students meet in
small groups to discuss readings, exchange ideas, debate, and share results of
individual study and research. The emphasis in honors is on independent and
creative thinking with a great deal of student participation expected.
Students are encouraged to take part in more than one honors program at a time.
Honors courses are usually offered by invitation only; but students interested
in enrolling may make application to the departmental directors of honors in
the areas of interest. Each department establishes its own criteria for
admitting students into honors, especially at the upper division level.
Support facilities, including classrooms, study rooms, special programs, and
residence space (for which the coordinator maintains a waiting list), are
available to honors students in Coffey Residence Hall.
The designation, "University honors program graduate," is offered to honors
students who meet the following criteria:
1. Have completed at least 15 semester hours of honors courses at Appalachian,
at least 6 of which are outside the student's major;
2. Maintain a 3.4 GPA in honors courses; and
3. Complete a senior honors project or thesis, to be examined and approved by
an advisor in the student's major field and an advisor from another
department; making a total of 18 semester hours in Honors. Prior approval,
further information, and application materials must be obtained from the
Coordinator of University Honors Programs.
Within guidelines approved by the University Honors Council, certain
courses in the standard curriculum may be taken by qualified students for
honors credit. Copies of the guidelines and Honors contract application
materials may be obtained from the Honors Office.
GENERAL HONORS PROGRAM
Conrad E. Ostwalt, Jr., Ph.D., Director
General Honors is an academic program created especially for students who have
demonstrated a high level of promise and motivation. It offers an introductory
interdisciplinary course, and four additional interdisciplinary courses
designed to serve as replacements for twelve hours of the total number of hours
of Core Curriculum requirements in the humanities and social sciences areas.
Classes include fewer than twenty invited participants, and they are conducted
under the guidance of two faculty members who represent diverse academic areas.
The courses are interdisciplinary in nature and are intended to exhibit ways in
which two or more fields of study bear upon the subject matter. The faculty is
selected on the basis of demonstrated excellence in teaching and scholarship.
"Self and Society" is available to a selected number of incoming freshmen only.
The regular sequence begins with a course which focuses upon what it may mean
to be human, moves through courses which examine human culture and the place of
individuals within it, and ends with a course which speculates on the shape of
the human future. The purpose of General Honors is to introduce students to the
basic concerns of the humanities and social sciences by means of the
interdisciplinary approach.
