Shaping Sustainability

Students shape NC State — literally and figuratively. Over the years, many of them have built spaces and programs designed to care for our campus and each other.

Think and Do With Us

An NC State education is the key to whatever door you want to open. We offer more than 100 undergraduate majors and more than 200 master’s and doctoral programs. Our students graduate ready for successful careers and meaningful lives.

Our Pack is strong, and we’re always looking for more thinkers and doers from all over the world to help us get even stronger.
