When reviewing an international application for admission, the admissions committee seeks to build a global community of students to further enrich the diversity of the student population. UNCW looks for students who are academically curious, excited to be in the classroom and willing to fully immerse themselves in our community of scholars. While our academic reputation continues to rise year after year, we seek well-rounded students who will bring their talents and interests to our campus. Seahawks are the leaders of tomorrow, shaping their futures on our campus today as they prepare for a lifetime of Daring to Soar.
UNCW is located in Wilmington, North Carolina, near the Atlantic Ocean. The area is home to more than 275,000 people, and enjoys a humid-subtropical climate, with average temperatures of 23°C (H) and 12°C (L).
