About

With a wide array of bachelor’s and master’s degree offerings, fantastic Pembroke faculty and a diverse 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.
