You’ll study in strong academic programs with professors who will know you and in a safe community that’s committed to supporting your goals. Your strong voice and presence matter here!
Our beautiful 225-acre campus is located in Raleigh, North Carolina’s capital city. Raleigh is one of three cities that comprise Research Triangle Park – the largest research park in the United States and known as North Carolina’s premier global innovation center. Two hours east of our campus is the Atlantic Ocean. Three hours west are the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. And in RTP, you’ll find 176,000 other college students and plenty to do as you experience your new home away from home.

– Dr. Jo Allen
International students are an integral and valued part of our campus, with over 40 students from more than 25 different countries currently here on F-1 Visas. As an international applicant, your admission process will be similar to that of U.S. applicants, with a few extra steps because of visa requirements.
