We ought to work with them." "President Spangler's endorse ment is extremely important in our quest for a historic mission change," said Dr. Edward B. Fort, A&T Chancellor. "If the Board of ^Governors' planning committee accepts Mr. Spangler's recommen dation we shall move as rapidly as possible to have final plans ready to begin these doctoral programs as writing workshops for b Jan. 11 in VS.

Fort added, Tm very heartened by the president's decision, and l*m not at all surprised. It's a great day for the university." The offering of doctoral degrees at A&T was a major long range goal initiated by Fort and his administration. The University has increasingly become a national leader in the field of high-tech edu cation and research. A&T currently leads the nation in the graduation of black engineers at the undergradu ate level and also at the master's degree level. The University offers under graduate majors in electrical, mechanical, industrial, chemical, civil, and architectural engineering. Graduate degrees are awarded in architectural, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering. The University offers Master of Sci ence in Engineering degree. A&T was recently designated by the Historically Black Research University Foundation for Science and Technology. Also the nation's space agency has recently awarded North Caroli na A&T State University a grant of $8 million to establish a center of excellence for aerospace research. - The award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administra tion (NASA) is the largest single research grant ever received by the University.
