Community College Collaboration (C3)

Welcome to C3

As a land-grant institution, NC State is built to serve North Carolinians of all backgrounds. C3 provides an affordable pathway to a degree and a Wolfpack family to support your journey every step of the way.

The transfer pathway begins at one of our partner community colleges, continues through NC State, and ends with a community of students that are career-ready upon graduation.

Our C3 Community

Our C3 students embody perfectly the NC State Think and Do motto. Our thinkers and doers come from varied backgrounds with diverse experiences. They are:

• Traditional students applying straight from high school
• Non-traditional students returning to school with years of life experience
• International students
• First-generation students
• Military-connected students
• Students from underserved rural communities
• And more

Can you see yourself in C3? You don’t need to meet all of those criteria, but the students who are the best fit for our community and benefit the most from C3 resources often fall into one or more of those categories.

Am I a fit for C3?
