From our roots as an 1890 land-grant university, North Carolina A&T has expanded and adapted to become an institution well suited for the 21st century and beyond.  We believe in the power of our students to solve problems, both local and global, through technology, business, engineering, the arts and other endeavors. The institution serves over 12,000 students.  Additionally, N.C. A&T is proud of its more than 60,000 alumni of record who occupy leadership positions around the world.

N.C. A&T graduates the nation’s largest number of African-American engineers at the undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels, as well as the most African-American psychology undergraduates.
