$1.6B annual economic impact

What we Think and Do doesn't Stop at The Lab

We put our research into action at field labs and Extension offices across the state. In fact, our research in just five of North Carolina's top crops – tobacco, sweet potatoes, peanuts, blueberries and soybeans – adds more than $1.6 billion to rural NC economies.

We Want You Here

There's more than one path to NC State and CALS, and we are committed to help students from all NC zip codes find the one that's right form them. In fact, more than 46 percent of our accepted applicants are from the state's 80 rural counties.
