Preparing Students for Bright Futures
With real life experiences or field training during their education, our undergraduate students are very well positioned to land jobs, get into top graduate programs or excel as a national volunteer upon graduation. Our graduates have gone on to do many Big Things, such as becoming Tony-award winning actors, Grammy-nominated musicians, leading scientists, award-winning teachers and principals, Fortune 500 CEOs, policymakers and more.
With more than 100 majors at UNC, your options are limitless. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out on your own. With small class sizes (14:1), your professors aren’t just instructors, they are mentors in and out of the classroom, and will help you discover the path that’s uniquely yours.
