Interdisciplinary Approaches
To ensure that graduates thrive in an interconnected world, Appalachian’s University College and General Education Program teach students how to integrate knowledge from many perspectives. Students learn how to adapt to new environments and continue learning throughout their lives, while thinking critically and creatively, communicating effectively, making local to global connections and understanding the responsibilities of community membership. Interdisciplinary degree programs and interdisciplinary research for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty build on this foundation.
