[edit] History

Template:Main

The North Carolina General Assembly founded NC State on March 7, 1887 as a land-grant college under the name "North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts." As a land-grant college, NC State would provide a liberal and practical education while focusing on military tactics, agriculture and the mechanical arts without excluding classical studies. Since its founding, the university has maintained these objectives while building on them.<ref name = "libraries"/> After opening in 1889, NC State saw its enrollment fluctuate and its mandate expand. During the Great Depression, the North Carolina government headed by Governor Oliver Max Gardner, administratively combined the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Women's College at Greensboro, and NC State. This conglomeration became the University of North Carolina in 1971. After World War II, the university has constantly grown and changed.Template:Fact In the summer of 1956, North Carolina State University enrolled its first African-American undergraduates, Edward Carson and Manuel Crockett.<ref name = "libraries"/>

In 1966, single year enrollment reached 10,000.<ref name="libraries">Template:Cite web</ref> The 1970s saw enrollment surpass 19,000 and the addition of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. NC State celebrated its centennial in 1987 and reorganized its internal structure renaming all its schools to colleges (e.g. School of Engineering to the College of Engineering). Also in this year, it gained Template:Convert of land that would later become the Centennial Campus. During the next decade and a half and continuing today, NC State has focused on developing its new Centennial Campus. Over $620 million has been invested in facilities and infrastructure at the new campus with Template:Convert of space being constructed. There are also 61 private and government agency partners located on Centennial Campus.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Currently, NC State has almost 8,000 employees, over 31,000 students, a $1.01 billion annual budget, and a $535 million endowment. It the largest university in the state and one of the anchors of North Carolina's Research Triangle, together with Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.<ref name="planninganalysis">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="nacubo">Template:Cite web</ref>

[edit] Campus

[edit] Main

Template:Main

NC State's Main Campus has three sub-campuses: North Campus, Central Campus, and South Campus. North Campus is the oldest part of NC State and is home to most academic departments and a few residence halls. Central Campus is primarily composed of residence halls, cafeterias, gymnasiums and student support facilities. Finally, Greek Court, the McKimmon Conference and Training Center, and student park-and-ride areas are found on South Campus. North and Central Campus are separated by the North Carolina Railroad. Pedestrian tunnels allow students to commute between campuses. Central and South Campuses are separated by Western Boulevard, a major downtown artery. University Housing divides Main Campus into West, Central, and East Campus for residence hall purposes. West and Central campuses are divided by Dan Allen Drive, while Central and East are divided by Morill Drive and Reynolds Coliseum.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Architecturally, Main Campus is known for its distinctive red brick buildings. Because of oversupply, odd brick statues dot the landscape, the University Plaza, colloquially named "The Brickyard", in Central Campus is nicknamed for its paving material, and most sidewalks are also made from brick. The Brickyard and sidewalks also sporadically contain white brick mosaics and other patterns.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The Memorial Bell Tower, located in the Northeast corner of North Campus, serves as the signature of NC State and appears in the NC State Official Seal. It was constructed as a monument to alumni killed in World War I. The granite tower, completed in 1937, is 115 feet (35 m) tall. As a tradition, the Bell Tower is lit in red at night immediately following athletic victories and certain academic achievements.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The Bell Tower, however, does not actually have a bell; The carillon system that can be heard ringing from the bell tower is actually housed in nearby Holladay Hall. There are plans to move the bell from Withers Hall to the bell tower during slated renovations.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The Court of North Carolina, just West of the Memorial Bell Tower, is surrounded by the 1911 Building; the College of Humanities and Social Sciences in Tompkins, Caldwell, Winston Halls and Poe Hall; Page Hall, home to College of Engineering offices; and Leazar Hall, former location of the Computer Science Teaching Labs. It was once home to 100 trees (one for every county in North Carolina), but damage caused by Hurricane Fran in 1996 reduced the number significantly, including the destruction of a particularly old and large tree which was some Template:Convert in diameter. Some replanting has occurred, but the Court's former appearance is far from being restored.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Southwest of the Court of North Carolina is another landmark, the Free Expression Tunnel. The Tunnel functions as one of three pedestrian tunnels underneath the railroad tracks separating North Campus and Central Campus. This particular tunnel is the site of sanctioned graffiti; anyone may paint there, and it is often the place for political statements, personal messages, and art.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

[edit] Centennial

Template:Main NC State's main campus is augmented by the Template:Convert mixed-use Centennial Campus. Located Template:Convert south of the Memorial Bell Tower, this campus houses university, corporate, and government research, in addition to classrooms and non-student residences. The College of Textiles is based on this campus and long-term plans have the majority of the College of Engineering relocating to the new campus, which has already begun with the addition of two buildings, Engineering Building I and Engineering Building II. The offices of Red Hat, ABB, and the National Weather Service are also on the Centennial Campus, as well as Centennial Campus Middle School.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

[edit] West

West Campus is located Template:Convert west of the Memorial Bell Tower. The campus's Template:Convert is bordered by the stadiums and the North Carolina State Fairgrounds to the west and Meredith College to the east. Situated on this campus is the University Club and North Carolina's only veterinary school. Since most of the Veterinary School campus is rolling pastoral land, part of it is converted to parking space during the North Carolina State Fair and NC State football games.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

J. C. Raulston Arboretum is an Template:Convert arboretum and botanical garden operated by NC State, and located just south of West Campus. It is open daily without charge.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

[edit] Stadiums

The stadium property is Template:Convert northwest of the Memorial Bell Tower. Both Carter-Finley Stadium and the RBC Center are located there. Aside from the two stadiums, the property is mainly open space used for event parking. The property borders the North Carolina State Fair to the North and hosts tailgating parties before NC State football games.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

[edit] Sustainability

In March of 2008, NC State launched the University Sustainability Office to address environmental concerns on campus and includes a Director of Sustainability, a Sustainability Outreach Coordinator, a Sustainability Program Coordinator, and a Sustainability Student intern. <ref name="NCSU Sustainability: History of Campus Sustainability">Template:Cite web</ref> NC State has established a commitment to reduce its annual energy consumption per square foot by at least 4% over a 10 year period. <ref name="NCSU Sustainability: Energy & Climate">Template:Cite web</ref> In addition, the university has surpassed the Executive Order 156 goal of diverting 40 percent of their solid waste stream from the landfill through a variety of campus reuse and recycling programs. <ref name="NCSU Sustainability: Energy & Climate">Template:Cite web</ref>NC State incorporates locally grown, organic, and free range foods into dining service meals at several events such as Earth Week’s EarthFest and the annual All Carolinas Meal with foods local to the Carolinas. <ref name="NCSU Sustainability: Dining">Template:Cite web</ref>Examinations of the campus’ sustainability practices by the Sustainable Endowments Institute resulted in a “C+” grade for NC State on the College Sustainability Report Card 2009. <ref name="Sustainable Endowments Institute Report Card">Template:Cite web</ref>

[edit] Academics

[edit] Structure

Template:See also NC State is one of 16 campuses that constitute the University of North Carolina system. Each campus has a high degree of independence, but each submits to the policies of the UNC system Board of Governors. The 32 voting members of the Board of Governors are elected by the North Carolina General Assembly for four-year terms. President Erskine Bowles heads the system.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The Board of Trustees of NC State has thirteen members and set all policies for the University. The UNC system Board of Governors elects eight of the trustees and the Governor of North Carolina appoints four. The student body president serves on the Board of Trustees as a voting member. The UNC system also elects the Chancellor of NC State, currently Jim Woodward.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The Board of Trustees administers NC State's eleven academic colleges. Each college grants its own degrees with the exception of the First Year College which provides incoming freshmen the opportunity to experience several disciplines before selecting a major. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is the only college to offer associate's degrees and the College of Veterinary Medicine does not grant undergraduate degrees. Each college is composed of numerous departments that focus on a particular discipline or degree program, for example English, Computer Science, or Accounting. There are a total of 66 departments administered by all eleven NC State colleges.

In total, NC State offers 9 associate's degrees in agriculture,<ref name="ncsu1"/> bachelor's degrees in 102 areas of study, master's degrees in 108 areas and doctorate degrees in 60 areas. NC State is known for its programs in agriculture, engineering and science. The textile and paper science programs are notable, given the uniqueness of the subject area.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

[edit] Admission

Considered a more selective university, NC State accepts more than half of those who apply for undergraduate admissions. For the class of 2012, 59% of about 18,000 applicants who applied for admission to N.C. State were accepted. For the Class of 2013, over 19,000 applications were recieved. <ref>Template:Cite web</ref>. This was the largest application pool ever at N.C. State and the highest among the UNC system. This class includes about 160 valedictorians and salutatorians. About 48% were ranked in the top 10% of their class and 71% ranked in the top 20%. The mean GPA for freshman entering fall of 2008 was 4.12. Transfer admission is also as competitive. Over 3,000 students apply for one of the 1,500 places in the transfer class at NCSU. The mean transfer GPA was a 3.30 fall of 2008.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

NC State requires undergraduate admission candidates to choose a preferred college of study. After determining that an applicant meets the overall university requirements, the individual college must also agree to accept the student. Because of this process, some colleges have significantly higher admission requirements than others. For example, the College of Engineering has higher admission standards than the College of Natural Resources. In addition, students might have a difficult time transferring between colleges. Transferring to the College of Design from another college could be difficult because of lack of design experience.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

The Graduate School reviews all postgraduate education applications. For fall 2005, 7,206 prospective students applied to the Graduate School; 2836 (39.4%) were admitted. Of these, 1,755 (61.9%) enrolled. Total fall 2005 graduate enrollment 6,128.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

[edit] Library

The library system at NC State, ranked 27th out of 113 North American research libraries, includes 3.4 million volumes and 54 thousand journal subscriptions (as of 2005).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The library system has an annual budget of over $20 million and consists of five libraries.

Template:Main

The athletic teams of NC State, known as the Wolfpack, compete in 24 intercollegiate varsity sports. NC State is a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference and has won eight national championships: two NCAA championships, two AIAW championships, and four titles under other sanctioning bodies. Most NC State fans and athletes recognize the rivalry with the North Carolina Tar Heels as their biggest.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> NC State was a founding member of the Southern Conference and is also one of the four teams on Tobacco Road.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

The primary logo for NC State athletics is a red block 'S' with an inscribed 'N' and 'C'. The block S has been in use since 1890 but has seen many alterations through the years. It became the sole logo for all NC State athletic teams in 2000 and was modernized to its current design in 2006.<ref name="ncsu2">Template:Cite Web</ref>

NC State men's athletic teams and women's athletic teams are nicknamed the 'Wolfpack' (most women's teams are also called the "Wolfpack," except for the women's basketball team who go by the "Wolfpack Women"). The name was adopted in 1922 when a disgruntled fan described the behavior of the student body at athletic events as being "like a wolf pack." Prior to the adoption of the current nickname, NC State athletic teams went by such names as the Aggies, the Techs, and the Red Terrors. Since the 1960s the Wolfpack has been represented at athletic events by its mascots, Mr. and Ms. Wuf. In print, the 'Strutting Wolf' is used and is known by the name 'Tuffy.'<ref name="ncsu2"/>

[edit] Student life

Thirty-three percent of all students live on campus in one of twenty different residence halls.Template:Fact Most residence halls provide academic and social events as well as host programs that acclimate incoming students to the college experience. Each residence hall or residence hall area has an elected council to provide for local event programming and an outlet for student concerns. Collectively, representatives from each hall make up the Inter-Residence Council which represents the on-campus residence-life community as a whole.Template:Fact

While Greeks do offer some social events, many residence halls host their own events, though alcohol policies are strictly enforced. One significant party is the "College of Design Halloween Bash" hosted by the College of Design every October. By far the largest party and social events are those associated with sporting events.Template:Fact

The student center of the University includes an African American Cultural Center which has an art gallery and a library. There is also a multicultural student affairs office.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
