OUR PARTNERSHIP STORY
University of North Carolina Wilmington
Known for its strong academic programs, hands-on learning and deep ties to the communities it serves, the University of North Carolina Wilmington joined Project Kitty Hawk in February 2026. Together, UNCW and PKH are expanding access to high-quality online programs for adult learners across North Carolina, with the same faculty, standards and quality as UNCW’s on-campus programs.
In fall 2026, two existing UNCW degrees became Flight Path programs: the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies and the Bachelor of Science in Workforce Learning and Talent Development. Both were redesigned to give working adults a flexible, supported path to finish their degrees and take the next step in their careers.
These programs reflect UNCW’s commitment to expanding access and meeting the needs of today’s adult learners. By leveraging Project Kitty Hawk’s innovative online infrastructure, we can provide flexible, high‑quality pathways that empower working professionals to advance their education, enhance their skills and strengthen North Carolina’s workforce.
