Overview

The Appalachian Studies course from East Tennessee State University is designed to meet the needs of three student audiences:

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 programmes upon the completion of the degree.

Key facts

This MA degree is a natural fit for ETSU, with its strong history of service to Appalachia and a mission that embraces its Southern Appalachian identity and setting.
