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 take on the world’s greatest challenges.

By offering a variety of learning opportunities, the Global Guarantee makes it easy for students to select courses and programs that serve their individual academic, professional, and personal goals. Many are inclusive by design, 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 programs and events
• 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 the Office of the Vice Provost for Global Affairs.
