Specialized Accreditation Matters

Some careers, like athletic training, audiology, counseling, dietetics, and nursing require graduation from an accredited program to earn a license or certification.

When a UNC program has specialized accreditation, it means experts in the field have reviewed it and confirmed it meets professional standards. This gives you confidence that your degree prepares you for the career you want. All UNC programs that require accreditation for professional licensure are accredited.
