Global Engagement

From admissions to graduation, we’re here for you. We’ll guide you through F-1 or J-1 visa processes, help with orientation and offer resources for academic success. Plus, we encourage cultural engagement to make your experience at UNCP enriching and memorable.

Improve your English and prepare for academic success at ELI. With small class sizes and caring instructors, you’ll feel supported as you strengthen your language skills.

We welcome scholars from around the world for teaching and research opportunities. Once accepted by a department, OGE helps with immigration requirements, allowing you to focus on teaching and research at UNCP.

OGE promotes UNCP abroad, supports international degree-seeking and exchange students, and administers cooperative degree and non-degree agreements with a number of partners. OGE also creates, offers and manages study abroad opportunities around the globe while offering students and parents support.

OGE oversees the English Language Institute (ELI), which provides English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, and OGE creates opportunities for student engagement with the local community.

Our vision is to prepare our students for the complexity of a changing world by fostering cross-cultural competence and encouraging global citizenship. We accomplish this vision by tailoring individualized experiences beginning at the campus, extending to the region and connecting to the global community.
