Admission

Completing the two degrees of the Hamilton Scholars Program is exciting but also challenging. Only exceptional students are admitted to this demanding program of study.

Admission requires completion of a short application form, including an essay. Hamilton Scholars enroll initially in the College of Management and later add a second International Studies major in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Freshmen are encouraged to apply for admission to the Hamilton Scholars Program after spending a minimum of one fulltime semester at NC State. Other currently enrolled NC State students may also apply to the program.

These students are normally expected to have a GPA of 3.00 or better and should apply to the program before completing the sophomore year. Transfer students from outside the university will also be considered for admission on an individual basis.
