Specialization (15 Hours)
- 15 sh selected in consultation with SD Advisor
The Specialization is made up of courses that form a single, coherent emphasis relevant to the student’s area of interest, such as social and environmental justice, food and agriculture, health and social change, etc. (see samples on the SD website, www.sd.appstate.edu). Specializations may also include skills-focused courses appropriate to a student’s proposed vocation. Credit hours from study abroad, an internship, or an advanced internship may be used in the student’s Specialization, as appropriate. This also gives students the flexibility to specialize in either a geographic region (e.g. Latin America, Appalachia, etc.) or a topical area (e.g. livelihood and food security, agrarian development, urban development). Courses counted toward major requirements may not be counted in the Specialization.
