| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is located in the southeastern part of the state on a 661-acre tract on State Highway 132 (College Road) midway between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. The city of Wilmington is situated on the east bank of the Cape Fear River about 15 miles from Carolina Beach and 10 miles from Wrightsville Beach.
Our campus has been described as "what every college campus ought to look like" - red brick Georgian buildings, beautifully landscaped grounds and more than 660 gorgeous acres. Highlights include our spectacular Student Recreation Center and state-of-the-art Center for Marine Sciences, which is located on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
Ocean breezes and the nearness to the Gulf Stream give Wilmington a delightful year-round climate, and the area's proximity to the ocean provides unlimited recreational opportunities.
The spacious well-landscaped campus was first occupied by the university in 1961. The number of buildings has increased from three in 1961 to 92 today. There are several athletic and intramural fields.
We have a beautiful campus in a great location and hope you schedule a trip to come visit us! |

| UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS |
|
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is one of the South's top public universities - and a decidedly dynamic environment. We offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees in four academic divisions: the College of Arts and Sciences, the Watson School of Education, the Cameron School of Business and the School of Nursing.
U.S. News & World Report ranks us seventh in the region, Kiplinger's rates us as a "Best Buy in Higher Public Education," and our students just keep getting smarter. (SAT scores for incoming freshmen have risen steadily for the past decade.)
UNCW encourages public access to its educational programs and is committed to diversity, international perspectives, community and regional service, and the integration of technology throughout the university. It strives to create a safe and secure environment in which students, faculty, and staff can develop interests, skills, and talents to the fullest extent. UNCW seeks to make optimum use of available resources and to celebrate, study, and protest the rich heritage, the quality of life, and the environment of the coastal region in which it is located. |
