NC State C3

The official account for NC State’s Community College Collaboration (C3) transfer program!

As a land-grant institution, NC State has always believed that all North Carolinians should have access to the opportunities and benefits of higher education and not everyone’s college career starts at NC State. The Community College Collaboration (C3) is a dual-admission program between NC State and 19 community college partners. C3 seeks students who demonstrate potential for academic success t

hrough previous high school or community college performance and exhibit a high level of motivation and perseverance in the face of challenges (as may be evidenced by their ability to overcome obstacles; manage family, work, and/or military responsibilities; and/or showcase their entrepreneurial spirit). For more information about our program, application, and community partners visit our website c3.ncsu.edu.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. 🎓👏

Graduate Julianna Romero-Cortes said it best: “It felt like a hand reaching out to me in the dark, which I took, and led me here.” That’s exactly what C3 hopes to be for every student who walks through our doors.

We are so proud of our Class of 2026 C3 students. Whether they’re finishing at the community college and transferring to NC State, tackling grad school, or entering the workforce, we’re grateful they chose to share this special season with C3. ❤️
