Serving those who served
Tar Heel Veterans
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is home to nearly 250 veteran students who served their country before beginning their Tar Heel careers. They've had challenging life experiences unlike any of their classmates and bring a dynamic diversity to our campus.
At Carolina, we are focused on providing our student-veterans the very best support and opportunities as they enter a new phase in their lives.
Those opportunities include Kenan-Flagler Business School’s online MBA, accounting programs and executive development courses, which host senior military leaders to accelerate transitions to new leadership roles; the School of Medicine’s physician assistant degree program; and UNC Core, an online program that prepares students for degree-completion programs by fulfilling core requirements needed to enroll.
