The University of North Carolina is a seventeen campus system which includes all sixteen public four-year universities in North Carolina, United States and one public residential high school. While the system's Board of Governors oversee general system policy, each campus executes a large degree of autonomy from the system and are classified as separate institutions. The system has a total enrollment of over 183,000 students and confers over 75% of all bachelor degrees in North Carolina. With its foundation in Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina was the first public university in the United States to award degrees, and remained a single campus university for 136 years. In 1877, the State of North Carolina began sponsoring additional higher education institutions. Over time the state added a women's college, five historically black institutions, and one to educate Native Americans. Others were created to prepare teachers for public education and to instruct performing artists.[1]

In 1971, North Carolina passed legislation bringing into the University of North Carolina all 16 public institutions that confer bachelor degrees. This round of consolidation granted each constituent institution a Chancellor and a Board of Trustees. In 1985, the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, a residential high school for gifted students, was declared an affiliated school of the university. In 2007, the high school became a full member of the system.[1]
