At The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, we try to make the international admissions process as easy as we can.

First, we work with you individually—that’s the Pembroke way—to make sure the admissions process goes well. We encourage you to begin the process by contacting Christine Bell, Associate Director of Admissions, at christine.bell@uncp.edu or phone her at (800) 949-UNCP or (910) 521-6262.

Second, UNCP is an extremely friendly campus where we are delighted to welcome students from all over the world.
