Looking for unlimited opportunities?
A university that has been named "best value" in the nation by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance eight consecutive times, Carolina attracts some of the brightest students from across the nation and around the world. In the last five years, we’ve won more Rhodes Scholarships than any other state-supported university and the seventh most of any college or university. In fact, we are a national leader among public universities in the number of students who win such prestigious national and international scholarships as the Rhodes, Fulbright, Goldwater, Luce, Marshall, Truman, and Udall.
We seek...
... smart, motivated, and good-hearted students who will enhance our community and the world while at Carolina, and afterwards. Instead of using a single formula or evaluating students based on a single number, we look for real people with a variety of qualities--from intellect, curiosity, creativity, leadership, kindness, and courage, to diversity of background and experience. And we read each application thoroughly, as fairly, as thoughtfully, and as carefully as we can, for all-around excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. Check out a snapshot of our entering first-year students. If that’s the kind of company you seek to keep for the next four years, we invite you to apply to Carolina.

"From conducting developmental biology research, to volunteering as a doula in the labor and delivery ward of the hospital, to watching the Tar Heels compete on the basketball court, I couldn’t ask for a more exciting and complete college experience."
