The University is governed by a 13-member North Carolina State University Board of Trustees.

Duties include, but are not limited to, the establishment of admissions policies, administration of scholarships and financial aid, appointment of tenure-track faculty positions, head coaches and the athletic director, administration of intercollegiate athletics, regulation of student activities and conduct, and maintainence of campus security.

The university was established as North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (A & M College) in 1887. The name was changed in 1917 to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (State College). State College became North Carolina State University in 1965.

The title of the head of North Carolina State University has changed over time. First the university was led by a president (1889-1934), then a vice president of the Consolidated University (1934), then a dean of Administration (1934-1945), and finally a chancellor (1945-present).
