NCICU is comprised of North Carolina's 36 private, non-profit liberal arts, comprehensive, and research colleges and universities accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. NCICU represents independent higher education in the areas of state and federal public policy and on education issues with the other sectors of education in the state. We also provide research and information to and about private colleges and universities, conduct staff development opportunities and coordinate collaborative programs.

Each independent college and university president is a member of the NCICU board of trustees. In addition, chairs and vice-chairs of the boards of trustees of individual colleges and universities are members of the North Carolina Council of Governing Boards. The president of NCICU serves on the North Carolina Education Cabinet.

Each summer NCICU sponsors tours of independent colleges and universities for high school counselors who spend a week visiting college campuses.
