THE UNIVERSITY <br />UNC's location in Chapel Hill adds another dimension to the educational and cultural life of <br />Orange County and its towns. The University is a valuable resource, not only to its state and <br />nation, but to its closest neighbors in Orange County with whom it shares many of its facilities <br />and programs. Its attractive campus includes an art museum, galleries, planetarium, libraries, a <br />continuing education center, auditoriums, meeting rooms, sports facilities, professional repertory <br />theatre, arboretum, and botanical garden all of which are open to the public for special programs, <br />concerts, recitals, films, lectures, forums, sporting and other events. But most important, UNC <br />makes accessible to local residents who seek to pursue lifelong learning and other academic <br />opportunities, an array of substantial continuing education programs, as well as highly respected <br />degree programs, both undergraduate and graduate. For those over 65, courses leading to an <br />undergraduate degree are provided free -of- charge and every now and then, an older- than - average <br />student makes local headlines by earning a long- dreamed of, but never completed, Bachelor's <br />Degree. <br />101 <br />
