About University of North Carolina at Greensboro

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro was established by legislative enactment in 1891. It was known first as the State Normal and Industrial School and only admitted women. From 1932 to 1963 the university was one of the three branches of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. In 1962, the Board of Trustees recommended that the Greensboro campus become coeducational at all levels of instruction. Subsequently, by an act of the General Assembly in the spring of 1963, the name of the institution was changed to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Today, UNCG takes pride in being a learner-centered public research university conferring degrees from eight colleges and schools.

Degree programs include bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, in addition to professional certificates. The Division of Continual Learning is the central hub for online courses and programs that lead to bachelor’s degrees in various subjects. UNC Greensboro online degrees allow students of any age to earn their degree on their own schedule. These online programs are known for their academic excellence and affordability as well as their commitment to student success.
