Affordable

Tuition at Carolina is lower than at any of our peer schools… as it has been for decades!

UNC-Chapel Hill opened its doors in 1795 as the first public university in the nation. Keeping education affordable is part of our charter. We have a ferocious commitment to providing all students with an affordable education.

Best Value

Carolina retains its best in-state rankings for 18 years in a row and takes top honors for out-of-state value. (Kiplinger’s Best College Values, 2019)

Experts in higher education describe UNC-Chapel Hill as one of the “public Ivies” because we deliver the kind of learning experience offered at private, Ivy-League institutions.
