Development and Enhancement

Unlike many other universities of its size and stature, Appalachian State University is not a research mill where undergraduates are taught by graduate students. The departments of the College of Arts and Sciences are proud of their faculty, and believe that it is a high calling to pass knowledge along to the next generation. That's why you'll find senior members of our faculty, many of them nationally-known in their fields, teaching undergraduates at every level. There are not many schools where freshmen can expect to be taught by the very best people in a department. That attitude is fostered by the College of Arts and Sciences. In the humanities, the social sciences, mathematical sciences, and the sciences, students deserve and receive attention from professors who consider teaching their first priority. Often this involves including students in professors' own research, making students important participants in the process of generating new information.

Needed Resources

An active faculty and student body are essential for the College to prepare students to meet the challenges of the future, and attracting and retaining outstanding students is essential for enhancing the vitality and growth of the quality of the University.
