NC State Online and Distance Education has a proven history of providing high-quality online and distance education to meet the needs of our students, North Carolina, and beyond. Our strength stems from distinguished faculty who prepare students with skills to transform their careers and make a difference in their communities. 

And our spring 2020 online and distance education graduates are doing just that. 

We caught up with graduates from a variety of degree and certificate programs to learn more about their journeys up until this point and where the future may take them. Many students are nontraditional and worked long evenings and weekends in the pursuit of earning their degrees. 

The graduates provided some advice for other working professionals who may be thinking about continuing their education or launching a new career. 

Check out the stories below organized by college. Congratulations to #NCState20 and our Online Pack!
