Onward and upward!

UNCP is on a path of continuous improvement. Though the University has enjoyed some amazing success recently (we’re the fastest growing university—public or private—in the state), we’re not the kind of place that rests on its laurels.

We have launched a $70 million building program to bring our campus into the future, making it a better place for you to live and study.

We are continually adding more faculty members, the best and brightest teachers and scholars, people committed to helping you develop as a person and professional.

We are boosting our admission standards and welcoming more high achieving students to our campus, people who will challenge you with their ideas and energy.

Our job placement rate for graduates is about 90 percent. And we continue to lead all 16 UNC schools in student satisfaction in everything from academics to campus safety, making this one of the most impressive places to study in the state. Give Pembroke a closer look. We think you’ll like what you see.
