North Carolina State University

Raleigh, NC

NC State says instruction "begins in the classroom, but it almost always leads into laboratories . . . or to stages, galleries and off-campus job internships and co-ops that expose students to real-world challenges and experiences. By the time most NC State students graduate, they have not only mastered their area of expertise, they have gained valuable job experience (and often job offers) and discovered the potential for inquiry and creativity within themselves."
