We're a lively campus community brimming with opportunities to enrich your studies, connect with peers and grow intellectually and personally.
A Caring, Collaborative Culture
Our college has unparalleled academic programs — but what happens beyond our classroom walls is pretty exceptional, too.
Students study and socialize alongside a welcoming, tightly connected cohort of peers who, like them, are inquisitive, empathetic and ethically driven. They engage with faculty and staff who are rooting for their success. And they discover countless exciting extracurricular options.
Ignite new passions while studying abroad in spots like South Africa or the Galapagos. Build your skill set with research projects conducted in world-class labs. Kindle lifelong friendships with close-knit classmates. It all happens here, and we want you to be part of it.

ICYMI. Working to get @caryncgov police dog Nitro back to health started with #NCStateVetMed Dr. Carmella Britt, board-certified canine rehab specialist, planning an intensely patient-centered rehabilitation path. Setbacks later brought pivots, but Britt and her team rolled with them. Patients, not plans, are priority one. #problemsolvers #lifechangers Read Nitro`s story at the link in our profile...
BUSINESS-SAVVY VETS: To run a successful practice, veterinary students need to know how to balance both patient needs and a checkbook. @vbma_at_ncstate, a student-run chapter of @thevbma, ensures students get the business know-how they need before their first day on the job, teaching skills including networking, business finance and career development. Fresh from hosting the annual Red Wolf Leadership Conference — which recently won a national award — officers from #NCStateVetMed`s VBMA explain how the club helps connect the local community at the link in our profile....
ROLL WITH IT REHAB. In January, Dr. Carmella Britt and her #NCStateVetMed rehabilitation team started working to get Nitro the @CaryNCGov police dog, laid up after knee surgery, back to his search and rescue ways. Veterinary rehabilitation and sports medicine is a growing field, and Britt is the area`s only veterinarian board-certified in canine rehab. Over the weeks, post-surgery setbacks have led to Nitro`s promotion to beloved family pet, but the veterinary team continues its strategic patient-centered care to get the "goof head" back to health.
