North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities consist of 36 independent/private colleges and universities. They provide small class sizes and close-knit communities. Tuition is not necessarily an obstacle due to federal financial aid and institutional aid from the universities themselves.
See the link below for a comprehensive look at the NC Independent Colleges and Universities.
Information can also be found posted on the information board across from Ms. O'Kane's office.
