Our role as a leading global public research university wouldn’t be possible without the graduate students who teach, serve in our communities, and create new knowledge through their original scholarship.
As the nation’s first public university, we have a responsibility to be a place that brings together people of diverse backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints to debate the issues of our day.
Tar Heels don’t just cope with an uncertain future, they learn the skills and build the confidence to shape it.
By working across disciplines and departments, combining knowledge and culture in creative ways, we see the world from different angles that open up new insights.
