Students Drawn to NC State for Wide Array of Interdisciplinary Programs

NC State draws a great number of interdisciplinary students because of its advantage as a large, comprehensive university.   Besides offering almost every conceivable engineering discipline, NC State offers a wide array of programs, affording students a wealth of choices.  Students can major in engineering or computer science and double major or minor in other kinds of disciplines – pre-law, management, life sciences, textiles, design, foreign languages, veterinary medicine, forestry, math, physical sciences, and many more.  Unlike most other institutions, NC State has it all right here.  The Benjamin Franklin scholars program is a classic example of an opportunity for students to partner engineering with humanities or social sciences.  Students approach their education with a multidisciplinary view, putting together a program that allows them to have two diverse majors.  They leave here well-rounded and highly sought-after.
