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 pre¬
sents general information about 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, sex, age, handicap, 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.

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 that may be used in whole,
or in part, 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 data in these profiles are as current as our data collection schedules permit,
but no estimates or projections are provided for future years when graduates
would enroll. 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.
Institutional Profiles is produced once annually in the fall and distributed to high
school counselors and transfer counselors in North Carolina. Suggestions for
improvement in content, format, schedule, or distribution should be forwarded to:

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 1 6 campuses of the University of North Carolina are as
follows:
ASU Appalachian State University PSU Pembroke State University
ECU East Carolina State University UNC-A University of N.C. at Asheville
ECSU Elizabeth City State UNC-CH University of N.C. at Chapel Hill
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 UNC-W University of N.C. at Wilmington
Technical State University WCU Western Carolina University
NCCU N.C. Central University WSSU Winston-Salem State University

• Data in the institutional profiles reflect what is 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 estimated annual student cost includes estimates for a regular nine-month
college year. Estimates for summer attendance are opt included.
• Data for "percent of freshmen receiving any aid" and "percent of freshmen receiving
any need-based aid" are derived from student self-reported surveys and are
therefore subject to reporting and sampling errors. Data for "percent of
undergraduate students receiving Pell grants" are taken from institutional financial
records.
• Advanced Placement (AP) credit information is shown in abbreviated form.
Institutional policies represent final authority. An examination in Music Listening
and Literature is no longer offered by the College Board.
• 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. It was necessary to use many abbreviations in presenting these data;
a copy of the institution's catalog may provide valuable assistance.
• 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.
