The University holds two classifications from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as a “research university with high research activity“ and for “community engagement“ in curriculum, outreach, and partnerships. With more than $42 million in external funding annually and a focus on health, wellness, and vibrant communities, UNCG scholarship is about building a better tomorrow. The campus is known for its focus on enhancing health and wellness, promoting vibrant communities and translating scholarly findings into programs, policy, and practice. Among the most prominent of UNCG's research initiatives are the Gateway Research Park and the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, both partnerships with North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.
To foster student success, UNCG's Division of Student Success provides student support services including those to build students' academic skills through tutoring, workshops, and study programs as well as advising all exploratory students. The Academic Success Coaching program for first-year students prepares new students for success at the university level and beyond. Other offices provide speaking, writing, math, and language coaching. The University's New Student Transitions & First Year Experience office is dedicated to easing the transition to college and developing connections at UNCG. Globalization of the curriculum has expanded opportunities for international education, most notably through the International Programs Center and the Lloyd International Honors College. UNCG's robust study abroad programs include exchange partnerships on six continents and pre-/post-travel counseling. The "Brown and Abroad" discussion group helps minority students plan for and process their unique experiences. Career & Professional Development encourages students to plan for life after college just as their college careers begin. The center's unique Career Roadmap program guides students on a career journey throughout their four years, in preparation for career success after graduation.
As a cultural leader, UNCG offers concerts, lectures, dance and theatre performances, exhibitions in the internationally known Weatherspoon Art Museum, and readings by nationally known authors. In athletics, Spartan teams compete in eight women's and seven men's sports in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. With ethnic minority students making up 50 percent of the student body, UNCG is one of the most diverse campuses in the UNC System.
Although much has changed since the University’s founding in 1891, some things remain the same. The University motto – service – continues to be a guiding principle put into practice through all aspects of university life.
