THE UNIVERSITY
The University of North Carolina is a multicampus university composed of the 16 public senior
institutions of higher education in North Carolina. The campuses, located across the state (see
enclosed map), are characterized by diversity. Each is unique in program offerings, admission
requirements, student body make-up, campus life, and historical background. This brochure
presents general institutional information and a comprehensive inventory of educational
opportunities at the 16 institutions. It is intended to help prospective students choose the
institution with the educational program best suited to their needs and interests.
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY
The University of North Carolina and all of its constituent institutions are committed to equality
of opportunity. There shall be no discrimination within the University against applicants, students,
or employees on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, age, disability, or national origin,
consistent with provisions of applicable state and federal law.
PROMOTING RACIAL INTEGRATION
The University of North Carolina actively seeks to promote racial integration at each of its
constituent institutions.

Dear Counselor:
You will find enclosed the 2000-2001 edition of the Institutional Profiles, University
of North Carolina. As you know, this report was first recommended by an ad hoc
committee of high school counselors convened in the summer of 1992. It is a single
source of much of the information used by counselors and students in their
consideration of UNC institutions, and has grown through the years in its content and
value. And, for the first time, Educational Opportunities has been combined with
Institutional Profiles to provide a single publication for your convenience.
This year we call your attention to new information about The University's Minimum
Course Requirements for admission:
http://www.ga.unc.edu/student_info/mcr.html, and a new web-based state-wide
guidance system called North Carolina Mentor (www.NCMentor.org), a product of
the new PATHWAYS program.
Statewide distribution of the Institutional Profiles, as in previous years, includes:
• fifteen (15) copies per high school - one per counselor, with the remaining
copies for the library or other school offices; and
• five (5) copies per transfer counselor at each college and university in the
state.
A limited number of extra copies of the Institutional Profiles may be obtained by
contacting Dr. Robert Kanoy’s assistant, Ms. Thelma Paylor, at (919)-843-6963.
Institutional Profiles is available on the web at:
http://www.northcarolina.edu/pres/publications/publications.cfm,
and additional information for prospective undergraduate students can be found at:
http://www.northcarolina.edu/prospectivestudents.cfm.
Administrators, counselors, and prospective students should find the information at
these sites very helpful.
Gratified by the positive responses to Profiles, I will continue to welcome your
comments and suggestions for improvements. I wish to thank you and your
colleagues for the important work you do in helping students to achieve their full
academic potential.
Sincerely,
Molly Corbett Broad

Introduction
The profiles, tables, and narrative materials in this document were prepared in response to
suggestions from school counselors and university staff. Their purpose is to consolidate essential
information about the constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina into one
publication for use by school counselors, students, and their parents.
The information contained in this document is not exhaustive. The task of providing complete
information about academic programs, college costs, and campus life properly remains with each
individual campus and we invite you to write or visit campus admissions offices as your interests
dictate. The information in this document is provided to introduce students and their parents to
each campus and to facilitate comparisons among campuses on measures of special importance
to prospective college students.
New this year is NC Mentor, the official web site of the North Carolina PATHWAYS program
(www.NCMentor.org ). Using N C Mentor, students can explore their career interests, search
the educational programs offered across the campuses, and learn how to pay for college. In
addition, online applications for all 16 campuses are available through N C Mentor.
Institutional Profiles is produced once annually in the fall and distributed to high school
counselors and transfer counselors in North Carolina. Suggestions for improvement or changes in
distribution should be forwarded to:

Note: The data in these profiles are as current as our data collection schedules permit; no estimates or
projections are provided for future years. This is because campus policies are always subject to
change due to changes in state and federal laws, regulations, and funding levels, and of course, to the
campus governance process itself.These changes are seldom large, however, and rarely affect
essential differences among the campuses.

• Data in the institutional profiles reflect what was current when taken to press, and may be subject to change
over the course of the year.
• Admissions criteria include factors other than high school rank and SAT scores, and may vary from institution to
institution.
• High school class rank and SAT score profiles are based on enrolled first-time freshmen who had both sets of
data at the time of their admission. Some non-traditional students may not be represented in these profiles.
• The retention rate is based on the first-time full-time freshmen entering each institution in the fall of 1998 and
returning to the same institution for their sophomore year in the fall of 1999. Graduation and persistence rates
are based on fall 1993 first-time full-time freshmen. Graduation rates show the percentage of these freshmen
who have graduated from their original institution after 4, 5, and 6 years; persistence rates show the percentage
who have either graduated or are still enrolled at their original institution after 4, 5, and 6 years.
• The estimated annual student cost includes estimates for a regular nine-month college year. Estimates for
summer attendance are not included.
• Advanced Placement (AP) credit information is shown in abbreviated form. Institutional policies represent final
authority.
• The General Administration of the University of North Carolina uses a slightly different system for classifying
majors than the individual institutions may use in their publications. A more complete breakdown is shown in the
Academic Program Inventory, a copy of which is distributed to high school counselors every even-numbered
year. A copy of the institution's catalog may provide valuable assistance in interpreting abbreviations.
• The titles for persons shown as directors of student financial aid and directors of admissions are generic. Exact
titles may vary from one institution to another. Correspondence addressed as shown will reach the proper
person.

History
Founded by Dr. James E. Shepard in 1909 and chartered as the
National Religious Training School and Chautauqua (for "Meeting
Place") to train community leaders. It operated as a private, non-sectarian
institution from 1910 until 1923 when it became the state-supported
Durham Normal School. In 1925, it became the nation's
first state-supported liberal arts college for black people and was
accredited as an "A" class institution in 1937. Renamed North
Carolina Central University in 1969 and merged into the University
of North Carolina in 1972.
This comprehensive university offers undergraduate and
graduate programs leading to the baccalaureate and master's
degrees in its College of Arts and Sciences, the Schools of
Business and Education, as well as the first professional
degrees in the Schools of Law and Library Sciences. The
Graduate School coordinates graduate admissions and
enrollment, and the University College coordinates Summer
School, Extension, Distant Learning, and Non-Degree Credit
programs. Continuing its commitment to equal opportunity,
North Carolina Central University (NCCU) vigorously recruits,
and strives to enroll a larger number of white and other
minority students.
Location
Durham is one of the three cities anchoring the internationally
renowned Research Triangle Park. More than 172,000 residents
live in the city, with its highly diversified economy. Highlights of
Durham economy include medical innovation and high technology.

History
Founded in 1887 as a state school for the Indians of Robeson
County. UNC Pembroke was originally known as the Croatan
Normal School. The first college degrees were awarded in 1940,
and the name was changed to Pembroke State College for
Indians. That name was shortened to Pembroke State College a
few years later. In 1969, the institution was granted University
status; and in 1972, it became one of the 16 constituent institutions
of the University of North Carolina. Pembroke State University
became the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in 1996.
Location
Pembroke (population: 2,640), in the southeastern region of North
Carolina, 1 1/2 hours from the Atlantic Ocean and 1 hour from
Pinehurst. Pembroke is 30 minutes south of Fayetteville, a city of
81,118 population. The University is also near Interstate 95 and
U.S. 74, major north-south and east-west arteries.
A comprehensive university offering degree programs at the
baccalaureate and master's levels. Its instructional programs
are organized into a College of Arts and Sciences, a School of
Business and Mass Communications, a School of Education,
and a School of Graduate Studies. The University offers
Master's Degree programs in several Education areas,
Business Administration, Public Management, School
Counseling, and Service Agency Counseling. UNC Pembroke
is committed to equality of opportunity. To further racial
integration, the University actively seeks to recruit and enroll a
greater number of African-American and Native American
students.
