Welcome to NC State History
Although the term “State College” had been in use for
years, the broadening of the school’s teaching, research
and extension activities led the Board of Trustees to
officially adopt the name. By the 1920s, State College was
beginning to grow beyond its original agricultural and
mechanical focus, adding schools of engineering, science
and business, textiles, education and a graduate school.
Despite the difficulties of the Great Depression as well
as World War II, State College made contributions to the
North Carolina State war effort by hosting a number of military detachments
