Students at UNC-Chapel Hill have access to innovative programs and opportunities to contribute to ground-breaking research and study abroad in more than 60 countries. The University is located in Chapel Hill, a sophisticated college town that’s part of the larger and easily accessible Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area and near the Research Triangle Park.
