In what year did NC A&T change its name to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University?

• A. 1957
• B. 1967
• C. 1977
• D. 1987

Answer: (B)

Renaming to reflect broader university status happened in 1967. The institution began in 1891 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of North Carolina, a land-grant school for Black students. In the 1960s, amid civil rights changes and growth beyond agriculture and engineering, it was elevated to university status and adopted the name North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. That formal change occurred in 1967, making it the correct year.
