The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Political Science contain correspondence, memoranda, reports, internship announcements and grant applications, and annual reports related to the administration of the North Carolina State University Department of Political Science. The records also contain materials related to the Mary Katherine Reynolds Babcock Foundation program to prepare minorities for positions in state and local government, applications for Title IX for the Education for the Public Service Program, applications for United States Department of HUD (Housing and Urban Development) work study program and the Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowship Program. Materials date from 1943 to 1996. The Department of Political Science at North Carolina State University was established in 1943 as the Department of History and Political Science. The name of the department was changed in 1965, when the Department of History and Political Science was divided into two departments, the Department of History and the Department of Politics. In 1972, North Carolina State University publishes "In a Black Perspective." This pamphlet tallied the university's black community at nine professors and 222 students (out of a total 13,809), and listed courses focusing on black history and culture: two in Political Science and one on race relations in Sociology. The Department of Politics was renamed the Department of Political Science in 1977 and in 1980 the Department of Political Science was renamed the Department of Political Science and Public Administration. In 2006, The Department of Political Science and Public Administration divided into two departments, the Department of Political Science and the Department of Public Administration; these two departments comprise the School of Public and International Affairs, within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. As of 2012, the Department of Political Science at North Carolina State University, located in Caldwell Hall, is part of the School of Public and International Affairs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, formerly the School of Liberal Arts. One of the largest undergraduate departments at North Carolina State University, Political Science offers students the opportunity to choose among seven different degree programs, many academic enrichment options, extra-curricular activities, and experiential learning opportunities.
