Department History 

From 1915 to 1967, the Department of Mathematics was a part of the School of Engineering of The Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, a land grant college created by the Morrill Act. In 1967 the North Carolina General Assembly re-designated the College as a Regional University effective July 1, 1967. Under this designation, the Department of Mathematics became a part of the newly created School of Arts and Sciences (which became the College of Arts and Sciences). In September 1968, the Department moved to the newly constructed Merrick Hall. In 1972, N.C. A&T became a constituent university of The University of North Carolina. In 1980, the Department of Mathematics moved to the newly constructed Marteena Hall. In 1981, the Department of Mathematics initiated a program in computer science, and from 1981-1992 was known as the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. In 1992, Computer Science was reconstituted as a separate department and relocated to the College of Engineering, and the department was again renamed the Department of Mathematics. In 2016, the Department of Mathematics was relocated to the newly created College of Science and Technology. In 2019, the Department of Mathematics was renamed the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
