What major organizational change did NC A&T undergo in the 1960s?

Merged with another university.

Name change to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (1967).

The correct choice reflects a shift from a specialized college to a broader public university. In 1967, NC A&T changed its name to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, signaling that it was expanding beyond strictly agricultural and technical programs to offer a wider range of disciplines, graduate studies, and a greater role within the state’s higher-education system. This renaming marks a major organizational change because it publicly redefines the institution’s mission, scope, and status, aligning with other comprehensive state universities. The other options didn’t occur: there was no merger, it did not become private, and changing the athletics nickname isn’t the kind of organizational change being tested.

Became a private university.

Adopted a new athletics nickname.
