At The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, we try to make the international admissions process as easy as we can. UNCP is an extremely friendly campus where we are delighted to welcome students from all over the world.

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 the Office of Undergraduate Admissions via email at admissions@uncp.edu or phone at 910.521.6262.

Once you are on campus, we provide academic and social support through our Office of Global Engagement to help you adjust to a new country and educational environment.
