UNC Charlotte Center City

UNC Charlotte's Uptown campus, offering graduate and professional programs a short trip from South End.

Type: higher-ed
Grades: Graduate and professional programs
Location: Uptown Charlotte, a short distance from South End

UNC Charlotte Center City is the university's Uptown satellite campus, distinct from its main campus in University City, and it focuses primarily on graduate and professional programs along with some undergraduate offerings. Its Uptown location makes it a realistic commute option for South End residents, including via the light rail line that connects South End to Uptown.

For South End residents pursuing graduate coursework, the Center City campus is generally a more convenient option than the main University City campus, which sits a considerable distance north and typically requires a longer drive or transit trip.
