The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics contain correspondence, contracts, minutes, reports and papers, publications, and departmental information documenting the department's academic, administrative, and extension activities. Materials range in date from 1922 to 2008. Agricultural Economics was first offered as a course of study in 1897 as a part of the agricultural curriculum. By 1927, Agricultural Administration had become a full department and was transferred to the School of Agriculture. Shortly thereafter, its name was changed to Agricultural Economics. In 1965, the department merged in the Department of Economics. By 1990, this program had grown so large that it was split once again, and a new Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics was created. Less
