In the South, it isn’t polite to brag. Would it be rude to say that in your very first year, you’ll work right alongside internationally
acclaimed faculty who are top in their field? Or that we have world-class facilities and an almost
endless variety of housing options—some with a pool?
We couldn’t begin to describe the energy on campus, or the limitless opportunities to be involved
with—like researching the pharmaceutical use of marine organisms, working on an archaeological dig
in Egypt, contributing to more than 70,000 volunteer hours, or just piling in the car before dawn with
surf champions. And we probably shouldn’t boast about the fact that anyone can fit in here, either.
So, how do we tell you we’re one of the best college experiences in the Southeast?
We just did.

The University College also houses our pre-professional programs. Advisors meet with students pursuing careers in law or health fields one-on-one to help navigate application timelines, requirements and program prerequisites. We encourage pre-professional students to volunteer, take on leadership roles in campus clubs and organizations, and take advantage of curricular programs and workshops to enhance their candidacy for graduate education. Recent graduates have been accepted to top programs, including University of Virginia, UNC Chapel Hill, Penn State, Wake Forest University, Ohio State, Tulane University, Elon University and more.
University CollegeAll admitted “first-year” students start at the University College. You’ll take a first-year seminar as well as University Studies courses, and you’ll work with an advisor to create an academic plan. Students remain in the University College until they declare a major, usually during their sophomore year, and are admitted to the corresponding school.
Honors CollegeThe Honors College attracts some of UNCW’s brightest students, offering opportunities for independent and creative scholarly research, interdisciplinary seminars and study abroad. As a first-year student accepted to the Honors College, you could also live in the Honors House—a living-learning community for dynamic students. Honors students planning to enter graduate school after UNCW can also work with mentors on the application process for national scholarships and fellowships.

LocationWilmington is thriving coastal community seated between the Atlantic and the Cape Fear River. Nationally known as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts, it offers a relaxed lifestyle, historic charm and the natural beauty and advantages of a coastal location. Locals and visitors alike also know Wilmington as “Hollywood East” thanks to EUE/Screen Gems Studios, the largest production facility east of Hollywood.
Located just five miles from shopping, dining and entertainment along the downtown riverfront and five miles from Wrightsville Beach, UNCW is central to all Wilmington has to offer. Partnerships within the film industry, through the university’s CREST Research Center for marine science and with local businesses and nonprofits create endless student opportunities for hands-on learning and valuable work experience.
VisionDare to Soar—our deepest and most sustaining values:
A commitment to the journey of learningWe emphasize inquiry, discovery, learning and serving self and community. Each student’s journey is strengthened through collaboration with faculty in research and scholarship.
A love of placeAs North Carolina’s coastal university, we use our location to explore modern questions related to commerce, human health, nutrition, the environment and social and cultural dynamics. We believe the sea is also important in the context of history, the human condition, literature, music and art.
A belief in the power of ideas and innovationSeahawks “invent the future” by embracing a culture of innovation—examining beliefs, taking risks, making difficult decisions and accepting and learning from both our failures and our successes.
Points of PrideOne of the best 4-year graduation rates and the best student-athlete graduation rate from all North Carolina public universities.
Highly ranked by The Princeton Review, U.S. News and World Report,
Forbes Magazine, and Fiske Guide to Colleges.
G.I. Jobs put UNCW on its 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools.
Seven straight years on the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, and “with Distinction” in 2012 for the 70,000 service learning and volunteer hours.
More than 74 percent of freshmen surveyed said UNCW was their first choice.
Ranked 25th out of medium-sized schools in the nation for producing undergraduate Peace Corps volunteers. Over the past decade, the university has constructed or renovated more than 40 buildings, including the state-of-the-art School of Nursing building and the Teaching Laboratory building for the Department of Psychology.
Applied LearningOur graduates are better prepared to succeed and lead in the 21st century. Applied learning is a graduation requirement for all students in the College of Arts and Sciences. Through applied learning, students learn to solve complex problems in real-world settings. Opportunities include internships, one-to-one research with faculty, field courses, creative projects, service learning and study abroad. Other departments offer similar hands-on experience with the skills of their major fields.
Seahawk SuccessAfter graduation, Seahawks attend graduate and professional school or work in nearly every field, all over the world—from North Carolina to Uganda. Within five months of graduation, 65% of UNCW graduates are employed.
