About
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is a master’s-level university with a spirited community of more than 7,100 students.
With a wide array of bachelor’s and master’s degree offerings, outstanding Pembroke faculty, and a vibrant community of cultures, ideas, and organizations at their fingertips, UNCP students are poised to excel in life.
Each student is an individual at UNCP. Our students get a chance to make names for themselves—to stand out in a warm and welcoming community that wants them to succeed—and experience a rare combination of opportunities, cultures and ideas that can’t be found anywhere else.
Located in the southeast North Carolina town of Pembroke, UNCP has a rich American Indian history and is one of the safest campuses in the University of North Carolina system. With small class sizes, a low student-faculty ratio, and a campus rich in varied backgrounds and perspectives, UNCP is a growing university that empowers students to go on to live vibrant, fulfilling lives.
90 percent of UNCP graduates are employed within 12 months of graduation. UNCP boasts successful alumni, including a former U.S. Ambassador, a Division I basketball coach, professional athletes, doctors, lawyers, an Olympian, and Miss North Carolina (2017), along with countless professionals making a difference throughout our region every day.
