How many institutions are in the University of North Carolina System?

• A. 16
• B. 17
• C. 18
• D. 19

Answer: (B)

The number shows how many distinct institutions are grouped under the University of North Carolina System. It includes a mix of large research universities, regional campuses, historically Black universities, and a dedicated arts school, all counted as separate member institutions. Because of that broader lineup, the system has 17 member institutions in total. A common source of confusion is whether to count only the big flagship campuses or to treat the arts-focused school as a separate member; when you include all formal members, you reach seventeen.
