Uniquely positioned to deliver a multi-disciplinary education combining the sciences and the humanities, North Carolina State University also takes steps to prepare its graduates to lead, live and work in an increasingly global economy.

In keeping with its academic and economic development mission, NC State continues to foster and create opportunities with leading Chinese universities, including the country’s top three universities. These international agreements go well beyond study abroad and redefine international education at NC State, creating avenues for graduates to compete globally and giving North Carolina links to an emerging economy.

NC State’s four strategic goals for international education include:

• build strong international partnerships to face the challenges of globalization and multicultural needs
• provide long-term bases for NC State faculty and student international experiences
• increase enrollment of international students
• build international recognition for faculty and research programs and contribute to the international research community
