Publish a book about local history. Design a t-shirt. Conduct research at NASA. Run a television station.

These are the kinds of achievements that are possible at UNCP. Because people care.

When we say, Experience the Pembroke Personal Touch, this is what we mean. You become part of a community where people make your success their business.

When you enroll at UNCP, you will receive an advisor who will collaborate with you on making your first decisions about college. In your classes, which tend to be small, you will become acquainted with professors who are willing to help with knotty calculus problems or discuss thorny philosophical points. If you want additional challenges, Pembroke's growing Honors College makes it possible for you to take your mind on a serious intellectual journey by participating in student research and conferences. And if you need additional help, we provide academic tutoring free to anyone who needs it.

"I emailed one teacher with a question, and within 30 minutes he replied. I wrote back and got a response five minutes later. I love the teachers here, because they do a really good job." - Jennifer Sechler, junior, majoring in American Studies

"Before my first semester, my advisor called and said I was accepted into the Honors College. I had scheduled 8 o'clock classes and she said, 'You don't want those!' She designed the perfect schedule and we had never met." - Nate Humphrey, sophomore, majoring in biology/pre-med
