Admissions

Our world needs leaders who can solve natural resources challenges โ€” and enjoy successful careers doing so. Join us.

Your Bright Future

Thereโ€™s never been a greater demand for natural resources professionals. When you come to the College of Natural Resources, youโ€™ll learn how to make sustainable use of our shared environment โ€” exactly what you need to solve many of the grand challenges our planet faces and to build a successful career.

From paper science and engineering to sport management to cutting-edge forestry, our college is the first choice of a diverse group of students with a wide range of interests. Whether you want to work outdoors as a wildlife biologist, develop community recreation and sport programs, or work with third-world countries making paper products using native renewable resources, our college will give you the skills and opportunities you need to make an impact.

If youโ€™re interested in the big, wide world we share, we want you with us.

The Right Environment

With a student body of just over 1,700, our college is one of the smallest at NC State, home to a close-knit community and students who get the attention they deserve โ€” including personalized advising and instruction. At the same time, our students benefit from all the resources and support of NC State, the largest university in North Carolina.

Our college also offers the best of both worlds in terms of location: Weโ€™re based in Raleigh โ€” the stateโ€™s capital and one of Americaโ€™s most-awarded cities โ€” but enjoy easy access to exceptional outdoor learning labs, including Schenck Forest just 10 minutes from our door and Hill Forest only 45 minutes away.

Whether you want to study the native animals of Namibia or the forests of Sweden, our college will give you the opportunity to study the environment, diverse societies and engineering of sustainable resources around the world. And youโ€™ll do it all at a university consistently ranked as one of the nationโ€™s best values in education.

Earlier this week, the College of Natural Resources and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management (@ncstateprtm) co-hosted the third annual Women in Sports Leadership Summit.

The summit, hosted alongside @packathletics and Wolfpack Women, helps develop, connect and advance women interested in entering the sport industry. This yearโ€™s keynote speaker was Dr. Heidi Grappendorf. Dr. Grappendorf is a professor of sport management at Western Carolina University.
We spoke to some graduating #NCStateCNR students to get their words of wisdom for prepping for final exams next week. ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿพ Check out what they had to say.
