NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis developed the digital NC Independent Colleges and Universities data from addresses provided by the State Library of North Carolina on 7/08/03. This file enables users to identify independent college and university locations. These data cover the entire extent of North Carolina.
These data were created to assist governmental agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS).

The attributes were loaded into the GIS from data supplied by the NC State Library. Minimal QC was performed during the digitization process on attributes. The values in the State Library of North Carolina data are reliable.
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for point topology using the "build" command. Topology has not been edited since the last build or clean.
These data represent the locations of independent colleges and universities in North Carolina as provided by the State Library of North Carolina. The locations were either address-matched using ArcView geocoding or matched manually using the best available techniques. These data do not contain all the independent colleges and universities in North Carolina.
The majority of independent colleges and universities were generated using geocoding in Arcview. The point generated in the processing would be snapped to the road identified in the address field. Therefore, point locations are coincident with the GDT roads data.
Independent Colleges and Universities
Point locations were generated using geocoding in Arcview from the independent college and university address list provided by The State Library of North Carolina. Points that could not be generated using geocoding were added interactively in Arcview using mapquest.com, Topozone, and 1996 Dgital Orthophotography. This digital file is updated as changes occur.
