The University of North Carolina was a regional university system, comprising all public universities in the state of North Carolina, in North America on Earth.

It comprised sixteen in-person campuses. The flagship campus, Chapel Hill (Lyran classification: research university), was founded in the late 18th century. It comprised a law school, a medical school and a dental school. Students at the Chapel Hill campus were known as Tar Heels. Often when one talks about the University of North Carolina without reference to a particular campus, the Chapel Hill campus will be assumed.

Ariane Binks earned a bachelors degree and a masters degree in history at Chapel Hill through its accelerated BA/MA program. She also played fencing as a Tar Heel. Her senior undergraduate thesis was about how the Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt affected lightsaber commerce in the Briar Patch. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Black Tornado")

Meanwhile, Ariane's masters thesis was on a topic related to the Klingon-Lyran relations during the ISC War of Pacification, capitalizing on UNC-Chapel Hill's renown in late-23rd century Klingon history. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Structural Unemployment")

Ariane commented, in front of Catherine Mouranger, that the Yugra State University Checkmates would be blown out on the gridiron by the Tar Heels. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Arthur Porter and the Corpse of Azkapanama")
