Established in 1891, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (A&T) is a public, historically black, land-grant institution located in Greensboro, North Carolina. North Carolina A&T and other 1890 land-grant institutions were established by the Second Morrill Act, which expanded the system of land-grant universities to include a historically Black institution in those states where segregation denied people of color access to the land grant institutions established by the First Morrill Act in 1862.
The university has a strong legacy of social justice, activism, and community engagement. In 1960, four freshman students, often called the A&T Four or the Greensboro Four, sparked the civil rights movement in the South through their “sit in” at Woolworths near campus. Demanding equal treatment and service, the “sit in” grew to include college students from across the region.
Over the years, North Carolina A&T experienced tremendous growth, and is now the nation’s largest Historically Black University. With an enrollment of over 13,000 students in 2021, N.C. A&T offers 58 baccalaureate degrees, 29 master’s degrees, and 9 doctoral degrees. The university, accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), consistently graduates the largest number of African Americans in the state of North Carolina, and is nationally known as a leader in STEM, graduating the largest numbers of African Americans in engineering and agriculture.
