As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available.

Education, business, humanities and the social sciences, including Appalachian studies, are the largest academic areas at this growing university. Clinics and research centers focus on speech and hearing, early childhood learning, oral history, rural development, and astronomy. 

Students typically enroll in four to five classes per term which averages 12 to 15 hours in class per week. A term runs for 15 weeks.

HOUSING

Students will be placed in on-campus housing and share a room with another Appalachian State University student (typically an American). 

MEALS

Students will be given a student card that has the meal stipend pre-loaded onto it. Students cannot use the meal stipend at restaurants in town, the meal stipend can only be used on campus. This estimate is based off of the current year's meal plan rates.

Students will receive a stipend on their student account to cover meals when the university is closed for major holidays. This may require students to open a US bank account in order to receive this money for use.
