  • North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (Hbcus)
    Published on NCpedia (https://ncpedia.org) Home > North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) [1] Share it now! North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Prior to the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, the majority of African Americans in the United States were enslaved persons living in the southern states. Education for African Americans was sparse, especially in the South with laws such as North Carolina's that prohibited teaching enslaved persons to read and write. It was a rare occurrence for an African American to be literate. While there were a few schools dedicated to African American education in the North prior to the Civil War, the first college available to African Americans in the South was Shaw University, which opened its doors in 1865. A number of institutions dedicated specifically for the education of African Americans were founded in the era immediately following the Civil War and others followed when segregation limited equal access to education. These schools are often known as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or "HBCUs". North Carolina has twelve historically black colleges and universities, including the oldest in the South, Raleigh's Shaw University, founded in 1865, and North Carolina's newest HBCU, North Carolina Central University, founded in 1910 in Durham. Ten of these schools continue to operate today.

  • Geoscience Department of Geography & Geology Program Review 2007-2014
    University of North Carolina Wilmington Master of Science in Geoscience Department of Geography & Geology Program Review 2007-2014 Self-Study December 2014 Self-Study Program Review Committee: Joanne Halls, Chair Michael Smith, Geoscience Graduate Coordinator Andrea Hawkes, Todd LaMaskin, Scott Nooner Executive Summary The UNC Wilmington Department of Geography and Geology began in 1970 and has grown to be a thriving and vital component of the Earth sciences at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The department currently has 19 tenure-track faculty, 2 lecturers, 1.5 staff people who support four undergraduate (geography, geoscience, geology, and oceanography) and two graduate (geoscience and geospatial technology) programs. Within the past 5 years the department has had several changes in faculty composition through retirements/departures and new hires. The degree programs have also changed substantially where the MS in Geology has become the MS in Geoscience. The result is a growth in our graduate program from 24 students in 2013 to 43 students in 2014. The greatest challenge that has consistently affected the Department is space. The faculty are spread across campuses (Center for Marine Science and main campus) and buildings, there is insufficient research space for faculty and students on the main campus, and the space is in need of refurbishment to accommodate the latest trends in science and technology. The greatest challenge for the MS in Geoscience program are the student stipends. The number of stipends and the funding amount is far less than comparable programs within North Carolina and in the mid-Atlantic region. It is a strong testament to the recruiting efforts of Department faculty that given this low funding the program has grown so quickly over the past few years.
