At NC State, we know the modern university can't afford to be an ivory tower. That's why everything we do works to improve the lives of everyday people. On our Centennial Campus, we invite leading industry, government and nonprofit partners to join us in that mission.

They come here — or work with us remotely — because Centennial is <strong>an unbeatable environment for innovation and entrepreneurship</strong>, fully embedded in the academic life of NC State. And because we're nimble, straightforward and understand their needs.
