 Dear Student:
Welcome to North Carolina Central University!
You have come to the right place if you are determined to change the world for the better. The founding mission of this university was the development of the sound character and academic credentials necessary for real service to the nation, and it is reflected in our motto, “Truth and Service.”
Founded in 1910, NCCU has been graduating leaders in industry, law and government for more than a century. Among those who credit the education they received here for their accomplishments are civil rights attorney and NCCU Chancellor Emeritus Julius L. Chambers, Congressman G.K. Butterfield, former Congresswoman Eva Clayton, former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley, famed attorney Willie Gray, and a dozen or more past and current members of the North Carolina legislature. Others include Evelyn F. Smalls, president and CEO of United Bank of Philadelphia; James Speed, president and CEO of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., and Floyd Benjamin Jr., president of Keystone Pharmaceuticals. All are linked by a desire to give back to their communities through leadership, public service or philanthrophy.
NCCU is proud of its place in history as the nation’s first publicly supported liberal arts college for African-Americans. As we continue to honor our history and our role in educating African-American youth, we also embrace the 21st century and reach out to students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds as we strive to become one of the best comprehensive, public, liberal arts colleges in the Southeast.
Your success is our highest priority. This administration pledges to work tirelessly to provide the prerequisites for success. These include high expectations, quality service and responsiveness, collaboration across academic boundaries, individual and collective accountability and responsibility, relevant curricula and support.
NCCU offers more than 100 bachelor’s degree programs, all detailed in this catalog. Find your passion and give it your all. We will do our part by providing you with a high-quality living and learning environment.
Be someone who will make a difference. Begin here at NCCU.
