| Mission | |
| School mission: | Since opening its doors as the nation's first public university in 1789, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has earned a reputation as one of the best universities in the world. Our unique school spirit has been forged through more than two centuries of academic excellence, public service, and athletic, professional, and personal achievement. Often called a "public ivy," Carolina is known best for: One of the strongest and most diverse student bodies in the nation - a community, composed of students from every state and more than 100 countries, that has produced more Rhodes Scholars over the last five years than any other public university and the seventh most overall. Academic opportunities that will prepare students to change the world - innovative programs not found anywhere else, such as our respected and inclusive Honors Program, and opportunities to contribute to ground-breaking research and study abroad in more than 70 countries. Best value in the nation among public universities by Kiplinger's Personal Finance eight consecutive times - outstanding merit-based scholarships, such as the Morehead-Cain, Pogue, and Robertson, as well as a need-based aid program that that meets full need and enables qualified low-income students to graduate debt-free through the Carolina Covenant. One beautiful campus - a classic university setting within the dynamic town of Chapel Hill, where friendly classmates, exciting events, and state-of-the-art resources are only a short walk away. |
