Student Experience

Students of all majors can take their NC State experience to the next level through enrichment programs, events and courses that align with their passions and goals.

Make the Most of Your Time

We make it easy for students to connect to memorable, and often life-changing, experiences that complement their major and their interests — inside the classroom or out.

Maybe you want to spend a single afternoon learning to make art out of glass. Or tackle a semester-long research project in the lab of a faculty mentor. Or even commit to a four-year leadership development program. Enriching your years at NC State can be done with as much or as little time as you have to give.

So if you’re ready to kick your college experience up a notch, start here.

Help Every Part of You Thrive

All students come to NC State with interests and passions outside of their majors. Continuing to pursue those parts of yourself while you’re here can help you find balance, support your well-being and allow you to feel more at home.

It’s essential to find your Wolfpack — the people and communities that lift you up and support your dreams. Our programs, both academic and extracurricular, provide opportunities to engage with other students who share your interests.

Wolfpack Wellness

Wellness is more than a buzz word — it’s an essential part of living a healthy and fulfilled life. Beyond engaging in programs that bring you joy and satisfaction, take advantage of NC State’s wide range of resources to help you care for your well-being every day.
