Bring the Stars Within Reach
Christina Koch dreamed of going to the moon. The three-time graduate of NC State charted her course to the stars by earning degrees in physics and electrical engineering that readied her to join the 21st NASA astronaut class.
As one of the top universities in North Carolina, NC State prepares you for a successful career — and for everything else that matters. Here, you’ll hone your curiosity, put your ideas into practice and take control of your destiny.
Koch became a NASA astronaut who spent a record-breaking 328 days on the International Space Station. Soon, she’ll become the first woman to travel to the moon and back with the Artemis II project.
Wherever your dreams are taking you, NC State is your launchpad.
Follow Your Curiosity
From the ocean floor to the stars; from medieval manuscripts to urban development; from plant cells to international supply chains — our Wolfpack is changing the ways things are done and the ways we understand our world. We bring together leading researchers from different disciplines to tackle grand challenges, as befits one of the top universities in N.C. and the country.
Discover All We Can Do, Together
Above all, NC State is a Wolfpack. A collective in which each of us contributes to something bigger than ourselves. A passionate community of innovative, entrepreneurial, values-driven thinkers and doers committed to solving challenges and advancing the greater good.
As a land-grant institution, our students, alumni and faculty put their ideas to work for people and communities in North Carolina and around the world. We’re revitalizing hurricane-ravaged towns through landscape architecture and design. We’re improving the sustainability of our global food systems. Closer to home, we’re partnering with an alumni-owned business, founded right here on campus, to create jobs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities — and to produce exceptional coffee.
Invest in Who You’re Becoming
Take Charge of Your Future
You look to the future with hope. When you bring your ideas and ambitions to NC State, we’ll help you turn that hope into reality.
