Primary Function of Organizational Unit
As a premier Historically Black University, the College of Education’s vision is to be recognized national leader in equity, access, and advocacy through the advancement of culturally sustaining research, teaching, and engagement locally and globally.
The mission of the College of Education is to prepare highly skilled, culturally responsive and sustainable educators, leaders, and counselors who create, use, and share knowledge on equity, access, and advocacy in local, state, national, and global communities. Building on the N.C. A&T legacy as a Historically Black University (HBCU) dedicated to exemplary teaching, scholarship and effective public service, the College of Education offer degrees at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels. This mission is reflected in the College of Education conceptual framework.
The College of Education comprises three departments: the department of Counseling, the Department of Leadership Studies and Adult Education, and the Department of Educator Preparation.

The Department of Counseling’s programs are accredited by The Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
Established in 1891, North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University is a public, historically black, land grant institution located in Greensboro, North Carolina. North Carolina A& T and other 1890 land-grant institutions were established by the Second Morrill Act, which expanded the system of land-grant universities to include a historically Black institution in those states where segregation denied people of color access to the land grant institutions established by the First Morrill Act in 1862.
The University has a strong legacy of social justice, activism, and community engagement. In 1960, four freshman students, often called the A&T Four or the Greensboro Four, sparked the civil rights movement in the South through their “sit in” at the Woolworths near campus. Demanding equal treatment and service, the “sit-in” grew to include college students from across the region.
Over the years, North Carolina A & T experienced tremendous growth, and is now the nation’s largest Historically Black University. With an enrollment of over 13,000 students in 2022, N.C. A&T offers 58 baccalaureate degrees, 29 master’s degrees, and 9 doctoral degrees. The university, accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), consistently graduates the largest number of African Americans in the state of North Carolina.
