Dear Counselor:
Enclosed is the 2003-2004 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.
This year we wish to remind you of the information about the University’s new
Minimum Course Requirements for admission. Detailed information is available at
http://www.ga.unc.edu/student_info/mcr.html and also through the College
Foundation of North Carolina at www.CFNC.org.
Statewide distribution of the Institutional Profiles, as in previous years, includes:
• five (5) copies per high school—for the counseling office, the library or
other school offices; and
• three (3) copies for transfer counselors at each college and university in the
state.
A limited number of extra copies of the Institutional Profiles may be obtained by
contacting Ms. Judy Munson at (919) 962-1000.
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 col-leagues
for the important work you do to help students 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.
The University of North Carolina institutions participate in the College Foundation of North
Carolina (CFNC) website, the single best source to plan for college, apply to college, and pay for
college (www.CFNC.org) in North Carolina. Using CFNC, 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 CFNC.
Also, the CFNC Resource Center’s TOLL-FREE telephone line at 866-866-CFNC is provided to
assist with any questions about going to college in North Carolina. Resource specialists are
available Monday through Friday to assist students, parents, and educators with their questions.
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.
ii
Minimum Course Requirements for Undergraduate Admission to UNC Institutions

Notes and Explanations
Please be aware of the following as you study and use the institutional profiles of the University of North
Carolina.
• The abbreviations of the 16 campuses of the University of North Carolina used in this publication are as
follows:
ASU Appalachian State University UNC-A University of N.C. at Asheville
ECU East Carolina University UNC-CH University of N.C. at Chapel Hill
ECSU Elizabeth City State University UNC-C University of N.C. at Charlotte
FSU Fayetteville State University UNC-G University of N.C. at Greensboro
NCA&T N.C. Agricultural and Technical
State University
UNC-P University of N.C. at Pembroke
NCCU N.C. Central University UNC-W University of N.C. at Wilmington
NCSA N.C. School of the Arts WCU Western Carolina University
NCSU N.C. State University WSSU Winston-Salem State University
• 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 2001 and
returning to the same institution for their sophomore year in the fall of 2002. Graduation and persistence rates
are based on fall 1996 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) and International Baccalaureate (IB) credit information is shown in abbreviated
form. Institutional policies represent final authority.
• The 1990 version of the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) taxonomy developed by the National
Center for Educational Statistics is the source for program titles used in the Bachelor’s Degree Programs
Offered (specific majors) section and also in Appendix G, Active Academic Degree Programs. The CIP
program titles may be slightly different than the titles for majors used by the individual institutions in their
publications.
• 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.
