UNC Campus

The University has been recognized for the quality of its graduate programs in every national survey conducted in the past third of this century. U.S. News and World Report's survey of American colleges and universities consistently ranks the University among the best colleges in the nation and among the top research universities.

These accolades reflect the quality of the curriculum and of the faculty, whose research orientation allows them to share with their students not only the thrill of discovery, but also the latest advancements and new knowledge. Another asset that contributes to this reputation is UNC-Chapel Hill's superb library system containing more than four million volumes. It is ranked among the top research libraries in the United States and Canada by the Association of Research Libraries.

Now in its third century, UNC belongs to the select group of American and Canadian campuses forming the Association of American Universities. UNC's academic offerings span more than 100 fields, including bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees as well as professional degrees in dentistry, medicine, pharmacy and law. Five health schools — which, with UNC Hospitals, comprise one of the nation's most complete academic medical centers — are integrated with liberal arts, basic sciences and high-tech academic programs. -http://www.unc.edu/about/history.html

@esca8652 The University of North Carolina is the only public university to award degrees in the 18th century. Hence, oldest.

Why do people get it wrong everytime, it's not the oldest state university in the US, the University of Georgia's the oldest, but only by a couple years.
