Campus life

More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division I varsity sports at Appalachian State University, and dedicated fans love to cheer them on. App State was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years.

All varsity teams compete in the Sun Belt Conference, except for field hockey and wrestling.

Joining a business-oriented club further develops students as professionals and, along with their major coursework, helps orient members to their fields of choice.
