Global Guarantee

The Global Guarantee is Carolina’s promise that a global education is available to every student. Through this commitment, Carolina helps ensure that Tar Heels develop the knowledge, skills, and mindset to succeed in a competitive workforce and to take on the world’s greatest challenges.

By offering a variety of learning opportunities, Carolina makes it easy for students to select courses and programs that serve their individual academic, professional, and personal goals. Many are barrier free, meaning they are available to all students without a fee or special application process.

Students can choose from the following options as part of the Global Guarantee:

• Globally focused courses, minors, majors, and tracks in a range of disciplines
• Languages and area studies
• Study, research, and internships abroad
• Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) courses and other virtual exchange programs
• Diplomacy Initiative events and Carolina Diplomacy Fellows, a customizable program for Tar Heels to develop the skills and global problem solvers and participate in career and professional development opportunities
• Global programming and cultural exchange on campus
   

The Global Guarantee is a university-wide commitment, involving numerous academic departments, administrative units, and initiatives, and is coordinated by UNC Global Affairs.
