 The
University of North Carolina at Pembroke was established in 1887 as
an institution for Native Americans. Since 1953, it has had a multi-racial
student body and today, 25% of the student body is Native American.
The University of
North Carolina at Pembroke has the distinction of being one of the only
two universities east of the Mississippi which offers a bachelor's degree
in American Indian Studies. Because of the University's heritage, AIS
offers a program to educate students about the rich diversity of American
Indian history and culture, to promote research and scholarship concerning
American Indian issues, and to prepare students for professional or
scholarly careers.
The Department offers
a B.A., a minor, and an academic concentration in American Indian Studies.
Students are encouraged to select courses that touch on as many different
aspects of American Indian history and culture as possible.
