Higher Expectations: The Strategic Plan for the UNC System

The UNC System, with its 17 institutions, is a cornerstone of our state’s success, ensuring access to affordable, world-class higher education for all qualified North Carolinians. No public university system in the country promotes access, success, and excellence as effectively as the UNC System. The goals and metrics outlined in the Strategic Plan reflect the long-term vision and priorities of the University of North Carolina Board of Governors.
