Important Catalog Information

Each student at UNC is expected to understand the University academic policies and information that may affect them. Your Academic Catalog has much of the academic information you will need on a regular basis as you progress through your education at UNC. Therefore, it is critical for you to explore your Academic Catalog and meet with your Academic Advisor to get clarification or explanation of information presented in the catalog. Catalogs in their entirety are available on the UNC Catalog homepage or in print. Below, you will find links to specific information you may need.

LIBERAL ARTS CORE

One of the major components to each of the degrees offered by UNC, is the Liberal Arts Core (LAC). Every student at UNC, regardless of what Major they pursue, must take 40 credits of LAC. Students in their freshman year at UNC are predominantly taking credits from the LAC curriculum.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

Each Major has a detailed look at the courses and/or credits required for graduation. If you have chosen a major, this information will help you in selecting courses. If you haven’t chosen a major, you can use this information to get a good understanding of programs you may be interested in.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Courses are identified by a prefix and number. Each course is assigned a prefix that identifies the discipline, field, or program offering the course. Numbers assigned to courses generally indicate the difficulty of a course and its location on a continuum of study. For example, 100 level courses are lower division courses for freshman and 400 level courses are upper division courses for seniors.
