MoreThe Dean's Office records of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at North Carolina State University contain general, administrative, and academic records from 1924 to 2016. The records in this subgroup consist of but are not limited to correspondences, annual reports, course and curriculum information, meeting minutes, news clipping, photographs, publications, committee and council proceedings, department head searches, budget reports, and materials pertaining to international programs and learning centers. First established as a distinct college in 1963, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHASS) represents the intellectual core of the university, though it has gone through a series of transformations throughout North Carolina State University’s history. The first English and History courses were offered in 1889, when the College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts opened. It wasn’t until 1937 that the departments of English, Modern Languages, History, Sociology, Psychology, and Ethics were all grouped together under the Basic Division. In 1952, the Basic Division was replaced by the School of General Studies, which was also non-degree-granting. However, in 1963 it was renamed again as the School of Liberal Arts (SLA) and was authorized to award degrees. The School of Liberal Arts would again undergo a name change in 1977, becoming the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHASS). Then, in 1987, SHASS was one of eight of the university’s academic schools to be re-designated as a college, becoming the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. As of 2009, CHASS is the second largest college at North Carolina State University.

MoreThis series includes reports and correspondence regarding accreditation of the College and its departments by outside agencies such as the Society of American Foresters, the Cooperative State Research Service, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

The School underwent another name change in 1968 to the School of Forest Resources. The administration changed the name to better reflect the broadening of its programs, including the addition of the parks, recreation, and tourism management curriculum transferred from the School of Education. In 1970 the School moved into the newly constructed forestry building Biltmore Hall, named after the nation's first school of forestry, the Biltmore Forest School.
