Education Is Part of the Package
It can be hard to juggle a life, a career and an education. Because we know having flexible options can make the difference between pursuing a degree or not, NC State offers over 1,000 courses that can be taken online. We also offer more than 60 graduate certificates that can be completed in less time than a full graduate degree program.
When you utilize our tuition assistance programs to support your goals, you make the most of every minute at NC State. We offer options that provide substantial cost savings and an open door so you can audit courses that interest you or pursue a degree.
When it comes to potentially life-changing benefits, our tuition waiver is top of the class. Full-time employees are eligible to take three free courses each year — at any of the 17 institutions in the UNC System. You have access to the unmatched academic opportunities offered right here at NC State, and so much more.
Going to school while pursuing your career isn’t easy.
But we can help lighten the load.
We Invest in — and Celebrate — Your Career
Our employees shine. Your contributions to NC State — both large and small — touch the lives of our students, further our strategic goals and build a stronger Wolfpack community for us all.
