Welcome to the College of Fine & Applied Arts
A Time of Transformation
It is an exciting time of transformation at Appalachian State University and for the College of Fine and Applied Arts. Currently the College is one of five colleges at Appalachian and is composed of eight departments: Art; Communication; Family and Consumer Sciences; Health, Leisure and Exercise Science; Military Science & Leadership; Nursing; Technology; and Theatre and Dance.
Recently, Appalachian announced the creation of the College of Health Sciences and Allied Professions. The Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science and the Department of Nursing, along with the Foods and Nutrition programs in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, will eventually leave the College of Fine and Applied Arts and move to the new College of Health Sciences and Allied Professions. The programs remaining in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences will move to the College of Education.
The Departments of Art, Communication, Military Science & Leadership, Technology and Theatre and Dance will form the new College of Fine and Applied Arts. The College name and departmental composition are under evaluation and may change in the near future to reflect better the identity of the College. We will continue to provide updates as our transformation evolves.
We embrace these changes as the university grows and evolves to meet the needs of our students, faculty and staff, alumni and community. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Glenda Treadaway, Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts, at treadwaygj@appstate.edu or (828) 262-8038.
