School Details

In 1887, Croatan Normal School was established after the General Assembly of North Carolina enacted legislation to establish a Board of Trustees and to appropriate $500 for a school to train American Indian teachers. In 1933, two-year college (junior college) coursework was added. After baccalaureate degrees were added in 1940, the Board approved admitting white students up to 40 percent of the total enrollment in 1953. Today, the college, known as the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, accepts students from all backgrounds and is classified as North Carolina’s Historically American Indian University.
