  1. Welcome to the Appalachian College of Pharmacy website. We invite you to take a few minutes to learn more about the Appalachian College of Pharmacy and our commitment to academic excellence, our college family, our community, and the profession of pharmacy. The College offers one of the few accelerated three-year Doctor of Pharmacy programs located in the heart of the central Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian College of Pharmacy was created to serve regional needs and provide a beacon for progressive pharmacy practice and education to shine nationally for its academic excellence and innovations in rural health care. Through education, service, outreach, research endeavors, and an abiding determination, the College faculty and students have begun to make a difference in the lives of those who suffer from prevalent health disparities such as drug and tobacco addiction, asthma, obesity, and diabetes. The academic program instills the knowledge and skills that student pharmacists need to excel as healthcare professionals and to overcome barriers that hinder health care in rural communities. Through the experiential education program, students gain exposure to various practice models, settings, and in-depth experiences to enhance and expand their knowledge, practice skills, judgment, and sense of responsibility necessary to support independent and collaborative practice. The College was founded in August 2003 as the University of Appalachia by Frank Kilgore, assistant county attorney for Buchanan County, Virginia. The Buchanan County Board of Supervisors and Buchanan County Industrial Development Authority requested that Mr. Kilgore establish a higher education institution as an economic, educational, and healthcare development project. The College is strategically positioned in Buchanan County, Virginia, which shares borders with Kentucky and West Virginia in the center of the Appalachian coalfields. The Appalachian region faces significant economic and educational barriers, as well as healthcare challenges. A previous report to the Virginia Legislature documented that residents of Southwest Virginia have difficulty obtaining and paying for healthcare, including dental and pharmaceutical care. By bringing higher education and advances in healthcare to the region, the College is well-positioned to be a catalyst for positive changes in economic development, education, and healthcare. The Appalachian College of Pharmacy (the College), through quality and innovative education, service, and scholarship, will improve the general health and well-being of the residents of rural or underserved populations, particularly vulnerable populations within Central Appalachia.

The College will collaborate with stakeholders to develop centers of excellence to address identified needs in rural health. The Appalachian College of Pharmacy, a college of higher education conferring the doctor of pharmacy degree, provides academic, scientific, and professional pharmacy education to address the health-related needs of rural and underserved communities, particularly those in Appalachia, through education, service, and scholarship. The College's philosophy is to cultivate a learning community committed to education, community outreach, and the professional development of pharmacists. We understand that financing a college education is one of the most significant life investments you can make. You may need financial assistance.

The goal of the Student Affairs Office is to provide support programs, services, and activities for our students, especially those that assist student needs and the mission of the College.

  4. Appalachian Bible College equips servants through a biblical curriculum of quality academics and guided Christian Service that nurtures Christ-like character leading to effectiveness in passionately serving the fundamental church community. Appalachian Bible College exists to educate and equip servants for the Church of tomorrow while edifying the Church of today. Whether you want to get outside and enjoy the stillness of nature or challenge yourself to some rock climbing or whitewater rafting, A.B.C.'s location lets you embrace the magnificent world the Lord created. The campus of Appalachian Bible College features many modern facilities that provide a comfortable learning environment and promote a great college experience. The campus is also home to Alpine Ministries: Adventures, Camps, Retreats, and Outdoor Education that give the Creator glory. What makes Appalachian Bible College rise to the top among accredited Bible colleges and Christian universities? An unwavering belief that no matter your vocation, as a Christian, you are called to know and apply God's Word. For this reason, each Bachelor of Arts recipient graduates with two majors—one in Bible and Theology, the other in the Ministry Major of your choice. A double major ensures that you will understand God's Word and the capability to apply its truths. The Bible / Theology Major stresses the mastery of essential Bible content. He teaches the best in-depth Bible study skills, while the Ministry Major equips you for a life of practical ministry within a particular vocation. The Master of Arts in Ministry program at Appalachian Bible College is a 36-hour professional curriculum developed for individuals actively involved in ministries, such as pastors, missionaries, evangelists, and Christian educators and leaders. This program provides graduate-level training for students whose undergraduate work has a minimum of 30 hours of Bible and Theology. This program is designed to be professional, affordable, flexible, and Biblical. The courses' content emphasizes the practical skills of communication, counseling, and leadership necessary for active ministry. The Graduate School faculty are qualified instructors with a wealth of knowledge and experience in ministry. You will be encouraged and challenged as you sit under these example servants. The Master of Arts in Ministry prepares you for practical ministry areas, such as local church ministry, evangelism, church planting, Christian education, and Christian leadership. It equips you with skills in leadership, communication, and counseling. As well, the program gives you assessment tools to relate to your particular ministry context. Each student is unique and capable of success. The H.E.L.P. program at Appalachian Bible College offers you personalized care, enabling you to learn and maximize your potential.H.E.L.P. stands for How to Expand Learning Proficiency. This academic assistance program consists of specialized testing, tutoring, and counseling to provide you with individualized attention and advice. Experience has taught me the importance of being proactive when it comes to academic tutoring and support. Every college has a student handbook that defines life on campus. In other words, the rule book! At Appalachian Bible College, it is called the "Servant's Staff" because it is a tool—just like a shepherd's staff—to guide you in becoming a more effective servant of God and others. The standards are meant to be a help, not a hindrance. Finding the right balance is accomplished through compassionate guidance and a constructive approach to nurturing character in light of God's Word. Occasionally, the intense atmosphere of college presents opportunities for counsel as character issues come to the surface. If you violate a standard, the student deans or resident assistants will call your attention to the character issue, as well as the reason and the scriptural basis for developing the applicable character quality. These talks are called "care-confrontations" and are approached with compassion. It is not the goal to point out every flaw in a student's life. Everyone is in the growing process. Not all standards in the Servant's Staff are based on the Bible. Some are necessary due to the college setting. Nor are the college's standards equated with God's standards. However, it is exciting to see growth in young men and women when they are shown from God's Word why He wants them to change an area in their life. Sometimes the transformation is dramatic and life-altering. The hope is that you will leave A.B.C. as an experienced, trained servant ready to be used by God. Nothing reveals character like competition. A.B.C.'s athletic philosophy is aimed at developing strong Warriors with humble hearts. Other schools often commend Appalachian Bible College teams for their sportsmanship. Intercollegiate sports are not the only athletic experience offered on campus. Whether it is Ultimate Frisbee, Basketball, or another sport, you will love being involved in intramurals. The time spent with friends makes for great memories. A balance of personal accountability, volunteer involvement, and required activities cultivates a stable and Christlike atmosphere at Appalachian Bible College. Come, grow in your relationship with the Lord alongside your peers and mentors. View full university

Our faculty, students, and staff expand the boundaries of their academic disciplines, discover answers to real-world questions, enhance the quality of life in the region and beyond, enrich the K-16 classroom experience and contribute to economic development. No matter what path you choose at Appalachian, we emphasize a "community of learners." In this challenging and transformational environment, students and faculty ask questions, explore ideas, and cultivate understanding. They examine what they believe and delve into new possibilities. Appalachian's six undergraduate colleges, one music school, and one graduate school offer more than 150-degree programs on campus, with off-campus and online options. At Appalachian, campus life amplifies what you learn in the classroom. You will find hundreds of programs designed to enhance your cultural, intellectual, leadership, personal, and professional development. We call these co-curricular experiences because they support – and are supported by – the classroom learning experience. Appalachian was founded in 1899. The pioneering spirit necessary to overcome the mountains' hardships quickly characterized the institution, giving Appalachian a unique niche in higher education. After more than a century, students still feel the pull of this unique place to transform their lives, and Appalachian has remained focused on providing students with educational experiences that are not only life-changing but world-changing. Appalachian State University is one of 17 institutions in the University of North Carolina System. The Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) College Portrait is a piece of necessary, comparable information designed for anyone to learn more about public 4-year colleges and universities. The VSA project was created to provide a mechanism for public institutions to demonstrate transparency and accountability provide a streamlined college information tool for students, families, high school counselors, and other consumers and support institutions in the measurement and reporting of student learning outcomes through original research and by providing a forum for collaboration and exchange.
