About the campus

Located at the heart of the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University, the SKEMA Raleigh campus has more than 30,000 square feet (2,500 m2). This location is also home to NC State Colleges, such as engineering and textiles, the state-of-the-art James B. Hunt Jr. Library, and numerous innovative businesses and research laboratories.

Thanks to SKEMA’s partnership with the prestigious NC State University, interaction with American and international students is part of our students’ day-to-day lives. SKEMA students have access to all NC State facilities, events, and services, including athletic events, libraries, gymnasiums, and wellness amenities, a health center, dining halls, 600+ student clubs, and more.

The school was drawn to this region because of the global reputation of the Research Triangle Park (RTP) and the quality of its higher education system.

The RTP, one of the largest scientific research hubs in the world, is home to more than 50,000 employees across over 300 international companies (including IBM, Syngenta, Cisco Systems, and GlaxoSmithKline) and has secured 2 billion dollars in investments over 10 years.

Many international companies have an office in the “triangle” of Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill. This geographical location offers students numerous opportunities to get involved in dynamic business environments.

If you're interested in meeting us, visiting the campus, scheduling an appointment with a recruitment officer, or learning more, we look forward to welcoming you to our campus.
