Global Partnerships

The Partner of Choice

As a top public research university, NC State is tasked with creating prosperity in the state, across the country and around the world. That mission demands we team up with like-minded global institutions to pursue world-class collaborative research, education and outreach.

NC State Global oversees all of NC State’s internationalization efforts, from formalizing strategic partnerships with universities abroad to hosting international hubs and consortia here in Raleigh.

Gateway to the World

Focusing on key global strategic partners allows NC State to facilitate multi-disciplinary collaboration and exchange opportunities to support meaningful interaction among students and faculty from both sides. Strategic partners provide the necessary infrastructure (staffing, administrative, teaching and research space) that enable faculty, staff and students to focus on instruction, research and engagement.

NC State Global serves as the liaison with international offices at partner universities to expand study abroad opportunities, recruit international students, integrate international experience into academic programs and develop new global academic curricula.
