The Graduate Humanities Program is home for the Graduate Certificate in Appalachian Studies, an all virtual certificate program of 16 hours composed of foundation courses, electives to meet specific educational goals, and a capstone research experience.
Courses in the Program are conducted in a virtual graduate-level seminar format, characterized by challenging readings, involved discussion, and mentored research and application. Importantly, the virtual delivery format allows the Program to engage with scholars and practitioners across the region, who work with students to undertake dynamic, collaborative explorations of Appalachian Studies.
Please note that many of our courses require fieldwork in the region. The Certificate’s final project often involves engaging with local organizations within Appalachia. Contacting the Director of the Graduate Humanities Program is strongly encouraged before making an application to the Appalachian Studies Certificate.
