Branding our Online Programs
We have exciting news! In a strategic focus on the Charlotte brand and to support the growth of our online programs and learning initiatives, the School of Professional Studies is proud to unveil Charlotte Online as the new consumer-facing brand and website for all online offerings at UNC Charlotte. This site encompasses both academic credit and professional (noncredit) opportunities within the School of Professional Studies portfolio.
