Provost & VC Academic Affairs
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP), a constituent
institution of the University of North Carolina System, is a
master’s-level university with a spirited community of over 8,300
students of whom 6,318 are undergraduate students and 2,001 are
graduate students. UNCP is an historically
minority-serving institution (HMSI), a Native American-Serving
Nontribal Institution (NASNTI), and the only state-designated
historically American Indian university in North Carolina. With 878
full-time faculty and staff, the university offers more than 150
pathways to graduate and undergraduate degrees.
Athletically, UNCP competes as a member of
the NCAA Division II and offers 17 varsity sports. The
university also offers more than 120 clubs and organizations for
students to be active and engaged citizens on campus and in the
community.
Founded in 1887 as a school for the education of American Indians, The University of North Carolina at Pembroke now serves a distinctly diverse student body and encourages inclusion and appreciation for the values of all people. UNC Pembroke exists to promote excellence in teaching and learning, at the master’s and undergraduate levels, in an environment of free inquiry, interdisciplinary collaboration, and rigorous intellectual standards. Over the past ten years, UNCP has experienced remarkable growth in student enrollment, in part resulting from the tuition buy-down program for undergraduates, the North Carolina Promise Tuition Plan, adopted by the North Carolina General Assembly during the 2016 session. Simultaneously, the university has maintained its deep commitment to diversity while raising academic requirements for admission to the institution.
The campus is located in the Town of Pembroke, which is in the coastal plains of southeastern North Carolina. Pembroke is the historic home of the university and the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. With a quick trip from UNCP, you can easily reach the picturesque mountains of western North Carolina as well as world-famous beaches and resorts along the coastline. While maintaining a connection to its rich American Indian history and traditions, the university today serves a broad base of students from diverse races, ages and backgrounds. With a wide array of bachelor’s and master’s degree offerings, dedicated Pembroke faculty, and a diverse community of cultures, ideas and organizations at their fingertips, UNCP students are poised to excel in life.
