Partnership for Progress
As a land-grant university, NC State has a unique and important obligation to extend research and practical knowledge far beyond campus, helping people solve real-world problems. NC State Extension brings that mission to life in communities across North Carolina — but we don't do it alone.
North Carolina is home to two land-grant universities — NC State and N.C. A&T State — who form a strategic partnership called N.C. Cooperative Extension.
Together, our respective Extension efforts enrich the lives of North Carolinians and grow our state.
