North Carolina Universities and Colleges

Raleigh, North Carolina Universities & Colleges Guide

As home to seven North Carolina universities and colleges, the Raleigh area is unusually rich in educational opportunities. Among them are North Carolina State University, a major research center, as well as two private women's North Carolina colleges and two historically significant schools that were originally founded as institutions of higher learning for African Americans.

As one of the three "corners" of the Research Triangle, Raleigh's academic research network begins with North Carolina State University in Raleigh and is enhanced by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University and North Carolina Central University in Durham. All of these North Carolina Universities are within a 30-minute commute of each other and are only 10-15 minutes from Research Triangle Park, one of the nation's largest and most prestigious planned research centers located in Durham and Wake Counties.
