Convergent Science at Carolina
Where compelling problems, new innovation frameworks and integrated teams converge to deliver solutions to the world.

Arts Everywhere
Arts Everywhere is a university-wide effort rooted in the fundamental belief that the arts are for everyone — and an essential part of the educational experience at Carolina. Your support helps us create opportunities for all to take part in the creative process and to explore the full range of the visual, performing and literary arts.
Global Impact
A Global Mindset
As a leading global public research university, we integrate global thinking into all that we do. Global opportunities fuel collaborations for our students, research partnerships for our faculty and the innovative approach we take to building the skills of the world’s future leaders. At Carolina, a global education is integral to every student’s experience. The Global Guarantee – Carolina’s promise that a transformative global education is available to every student – is a key part of infusing our campus with a global mindset.
