About the Undergraduate Catalog

The Undergraduate Catalog provides information about undergraduate courses, programs of study, degree requirements, and academic policies. It includes admission requirements and application procedures. 

Enrolled students are encouraged to use the catalog in addition to talking with advisors and consulting their Tar Heel Tracker for undergraduate degree requirements.

This catalog is concerned primarily with prospective students and with undergraduates enrolled in the General College, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business, Data Science and Society, Dentistry, Education, Information and Library Science, Journalism and Media, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health, as well as Summer School.

The following additional catalogs and admissions brochures are published by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in print form and/or on the Web: Kenan–Flagler Business School, School of Dentistry, School of Education, School of Government, School of Information and Library Science, School of Journalism and Media, School of Law, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Gillings School of Global Public Health, School of Social Work, and Summer School. 

Students may expect to receive a degree by fulfilling the requirements of a curriculum as specified in the Undergraduate Catalog for the year in which the student matriculated at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The University is not strictly obligated to fulfill this expectation since changes to the structure of degree requirements may entail widespread curricular adjustments, but it will make every effort to modulate changes so that appropriate substitutes for particular requirements, or particular courses, are available to students operating under a previous set of expectations. The faculty reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary in the curricula and in regulations. By University policy, the regulations in this catalog are not necessarily valid beyond the academic year for which it was published.
