History

UNC Charlotte was founded in September of 1946 as one of many universities established in cities after World War II. The high numbers of returning veterans and the technology boom created a higher demand for post-secondary education. To serve its many returning veterans, UNC Charlotte opened as "The Charlotte Center," offering evening classes at Charlotte's Central High School. The city's education and business members proposed to turn the High School into "Charlotte College" and offer two-year college courses.  Eventually, financial support for Charlotte College came from the State of North Carolina, which led to the search for land to support a college campus.

Charlotte College moved to a 1,000-acre campus just 10 miles from downtown Charlotte in 1961. In 1964, Charlotte College became a four-year, state-supported college. In 1965, it changed its name to the "University of North Carolina at Charlotte," becoming the fourth campus of the statewide university system. In 1969, UNC Charlotte began offering master's degree programs, and in 1992, it began offering doctoral degree programs.

UNC Charlotte is now the fourth largest of the 16 institutions within the University of North Carolina system, and the largest college in the Charlotte region.
