CALS Online

Preparing Students, Supporting Extension

For many students, the path to CALS begins at a community college. CALS Online courses ease the transition for students transferring to NC State.

With the same depth and breadth of other introductory NC State courses, these classes prepare students to succeed at CALS — and allow students to transfer community college credits to NC State.

These virtual courses provide training for Extension agents and staff to expand practical knowledge. Is there a science class you think will help with your day-to-day work? Take one for free through the CALS Online. Need to brush up on a topic you studied years ago? Do so on your timeline with a self-paced CALS Online course.
