Collaborate with the Study Abroad Office

The Study Abroad Office is always looking for ways to partner with academic units to ensure that students are able to choose programs that align with their academic interests. Our advising team works with students based on the college they’re in at NC State– see below for our college portfolio. Reach out to your college’s designated advisor to connect them with your students, discuss advising resources, ask questions, or work on pre-approving international courses for students.
