The School offers two undergraduate degree programs, with concentrations in eight areas, and an MBA. The combined enrollment is approximately 600 students. The Thomas Family Center for Entrepreneurship also operates under the auspices of the School of Business. Courses are offered on the main campus, at regional centers in Southern Pines, Cape Fear, Richmond, and at Ft. Bragg. There is also an online degree program.

The responsibilities of the Dean include leading the efforts to secure AACSB accreditation, promoting excellence in teaching, research and service, and overseeing the direction of the three departments and the MBA program as well as the Thomas Family Center for Entrepreneurship.

A strong background in leading AACSB accreditation, substantial experience in leadership in higher education, a commitment to diversity, and an understanding of fiscal management procedures are preferred.

Welcome to The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

We encourage you to look through our Web site and take a tour by going to our campus map. UNC Pembroke has a beautiful campus, and we encourage you to see it for yourself and meet some of the great people on our campus.

This University has a long and remarkable history dating back to 1887. Our story is one of building opportunities and transforming lives and communities. UNCP is a great place to get a high quality education with one of the 45 undergraduate and 17 graduate degree programs we offer.

Of all the accolades that we have earned over the years – “a Best Southeastern College,” a “most affordable university” (Princeton Review), a “most diverse” university and a top ranking university for the number of our small class sizes (U.S. News) – the thing we value most is that our students rate their relationship with our faculty extraordinarily high on satisfaction surveys. Teaching and learning are at the forefront of everything we do.

Pembroke is a small community where student life is convenient and accessible. Also, our campus is friendly and safe. There are abundant opportunities to engage in research, leadership, community service, the arts, clubs, athletics and more.

I have worked at UNCP for more than 38 years and am proud of this University. We have a dedicated faculty and staff, who put student success first. If this is your first exposure to UNC Pembroke, we invite you to visit in person to see our beautiful campus and friendly faces.

Sincerely,

Charles R. Jenkins
