Academic Mission

natalie_virgil22 — 2020-04-09 22:41:43 UTC

You gain the best of a small, teaching-focused institution combined with the progressive knowledge of a research-based university. At UNC, our professors don’t have to choose between teaching and research because they have the opportunity to work closely with students while sharing their research in the classroom. And that makes for a passionately different approach to education for our students.

Starting in fall 2019, emphasis will be placed on students' GPA for admission. Test scores are required for scholarship and placement purposes!
