The premier public undergraduate institution in the state of North Carolina and a national leader in higher education, Appalachian State University is growing at a slow and steady rate.

To continue providing the highest quality setting in which students can grow and learn how to navigate life successfully, the university must ensure a sound foundation — both in physical infrastructure and human potential. We call this high-quality academic and co-curricular environment the App State Experience.

On this site, you will find important information regarding App State’s future:

• Building the Physical Infrastructure

• Empowering Human Potential

  Our goals and strategic initiatives that relate to access and student success, economic impact, community engagement, and leadership in creating a better world for all people.

The information on this site aligns with App State’s strategic plan, “The Appalachian Experience: Envisioning a just and sustainable future,” and as such, informs the university’s path forward.
