"The successful completion of doctoral degrees by minority students does not result from graduate study alone but rather depends on the presence of intellectual building blocks in middle school, high school and undergraduate education."
Dr. Henry T. Frierson

Welcome to the North Carolina OPT-ED Alliance

The North Carolina Alliance to Create Opportunity Through Education (NC OPT-ED) involves statewide institutions that are committed to diversifying the science, mathematics, technology and engineering workforce, including the professorate. The formal alliance with other National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported programs at institutions in North Carolina seeks to encourage underrepresented minority students from middle school through graduate school to attain the doctorate.

"Knowledge is the key that unlocks all the doors. It doesn't matter what you look like or where you come from if you have knowledge."

Benjamin Carson
