Each student is an individual at UNCP. Our students get a chance to make names for themselves—to stand out in a warm and welcoming community that wants them to succeed—and experience a rare combination of opportunities, cultures and ideas that can’t be found anywhere else.

Located in the southeastern North Carolina town of Pembroke, UNCP has a rich American Indian history and is one of the safest campuses in the University of North Carolina System.

With small class sizes, a low student-faculty ratio and one of the most diverse campuses in the nation, UNCP is a growing university that empowers students to go on to live vibrant, fulfilling lives.

TRANSFER STUDENT RESOURCES UNCP has partnered with community colleges and junior colleges to create articulation agreements to ease transfer into certain degree programs. Articulation Agreements are officially approved guides that outline how coursework taken at a community college or junior college transfers to UNCP. They are intended to promote smooth transitions for students. The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement established at the University of North Carolina System-level governs the specific transfer of courses/programs between the North Carolina Community Colleges and constituent institutions of UNCP. Visit uncp.edu/aalist for more information.
