University of North Carolina - Charlotte

The University of North Carolina (UNC) Charlotte was one among a generation of universities established in metropolitan areas of the United States in the immediate aftermath of World War II, in response to rising education demands generated by the war and its technology. Today, UNC Charlotte delivers high-quality education to a diverse student body of over 30,000 members. The university has grown in size and mission to become the region’s preeminent research institution, addressing critical business, technology, health care, energy, and education needs. Learning and collaboration take place at two Charlotte locations: a vibrant 1,000-acre campus in University City and an uptown site designed to serve the businesses, organizations, and people of an urban center. UNC Charlotte comprises eight professional colleges and over 3,700 faculty and staff.
