About NC State Global
As a leading public research university, NC State is dedicated to creating prosperity in the state, across the country and around the world. International collaboration is a critical component of these efforts – enabling shared discovery, innovation, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Equally important are opportunities for student learning and preparation for leadership and problem solving in our rapidly changing landscape.
NC State Global advances the university’s internationalization efforts through the development and ongoing support of strategic partnerships with institutions abroad and through the provision of critical infrastructure, support services, and campus programs here in Raleigh. Our office serves as the primary liaison with international offices at partner universities to expand study abroad opportunities, support international students, integrate international experiences into NC State’s academic programs and create new pathways for research, outreach, and professional development.
