Black farmers own far less land than they did in 1910 and the racial gap in homeownership is at the highest level for 50 years.
Academic rigor, journalistic flair
North Carolina State University
As a land-grant institution, NC State was born as an idea: that higher education should bring economic, societal and intellectual prosperity to the masses. From our origins teaching the agricultural and mechanical arts, we’ve grown to become a pre-eminent research enterprise that advances knowledge in science, technology, engineering, math, design, the humanities and social sciences, textiles and veterinary medicine.
Our students, faculty and staff take problems in hand and work with industry, government and nonprofit partners to solve them. Our 34,000-plus high-performing students apply what they learn in the real world, through research, internships, co-ops and world-changing service. That experiential education ensures they leave here with career-ready skills. And those skills come at a reasonable cost: NC State consistently rates as one of the best values in higher education.

El planeta vecino es caliente y ácido, y su superficie está oculta por gruesas nubes de ácido sulfúrico. Quizá por estas dificultades, no se ha beneficiado de la atención que han recibido Marte y la Luna. Pero Venus puede ofrecer información sobre el futuro de la Tierra.
This hot, acidic neighbor with its surface veiled in thick clouds hasn’t benefited from the attention showered on Mars and the Moon. But Venus may offer insights into the fate of the Earth.
