Of the public, for the public 鈥 in North Carolina and beyond
At its core, and fundamental to its future, Carolina is 鈥渙f the public, for the public.鈥 Historically, distance and continuing education has been a foundational part of this mission, serving as the 鈥淕ateway to Carolina鈥 for the community. Looking ahead, this service mindset drives UNC-Chapel Hill鈥檚 planning via its strategic plan, Carolina Next: Innovations for Public Good.
Online and distance education look very different than they did even one year ago, but they are still ultimately about the students. We鈥檙e working to extend Carolina learning opportunities to those who might not otherwise have access, removing barriers to a great education. Along the way, we鈥檙e bringing the best of current standards and emerging trends to our online offerings.
We hope you鈥檒l join us.
