North Carolina A&T State University is known for its agricultural and technical programs. The university is also known for its strong Greek life presence on campus.
The university was founded in 1891 as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts after the merger of several smaller institutions. It became a land-grant university in 1894, when it was renamed to North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College (N.C. A&M). The institution has since been renamed five times over the years, most recently in 2015 to North Carolina A&M University at Greensboro (NC A&M).
In addition, North Carolina A&M offers more than 150 undergraduate majors, minors and specializations and more than 25 graduate programs at its main campus in Greensboro. The school also operates satellite campuses in Charlotte, High Point and Winston-Salem that offer a limited number of degree programs.
