Academics

Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 4,301 of University of North Carolina at Greensboro's 17,743 students (24%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 8,231 (46%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at University of North Carolina at Greensboro?
University of North Carolina at Greensboro reports a graduation rate of approximately 56%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of University of North Carolina at Greensboro have?
Students who borrowed at University of North Carolina at Greensboro left with a median of approximately $22,858 in federal loans, and about 46% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $48,160 for students who received federal financial aid at University of North Carolina at Greensboro. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
