The Office of International Affairs at North Carolina State University, led by Vice Provost for International Affairs, Dr. Bailian Li, is the university-level office for international and global education initiatives. Our units work toward integrating global perspectives into all aspects of the university's mission as well as strengthening NC State's presence in the world.

Through building global partnerships, developing international programs, integrating global perspectives into the curriculum, and actively engaging the NC State community in global awareness initiatives, the Office of International Affairs helps to spearhead the University’s commitment to being locally responsive and globally engaged. Read our full mission here.
