The University of North Carolina at Pembroke was established in 1887 as an institution for American Indians. Since 1953, it has had a multi-racial student body and today, 20% of the student body is American Indian.
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.
