Program Overview

The Master of Arts in Appalachian Studies is an interdisciplinary graduate degree designed to provide a comprehensive study of the Appalachian region, including its history, environment, culture, and current challenges. The program is designed to meet the needs of three types of students: Students for whom a graduate degree in the discipline of Appalachian Studies would improve their qualifications for the job market; Students who are already in the workforce but can profit from and perhaps advance in their careers with deeper knowledge of the region; and Students who are interested in understanding the region from a variety of historical, cultural, and global perspectives; who will profit from concentrated study and research; and who may plan to enter doctoral programs upon the completion of the degree. As a broad, interdisciplinary degree, the M.A. in Appalachian Studies is intended to be highly flexible and customizable to fit each student’s educational and career goals.
