The consolidated university

When the state consolidated the three campuses in 1932, the trustees eliminated duplicate programs in engineering, business, and library science. Chapel Hill lost engineering to North Carolina State, but retained the other two specialties. The university also strengthened its undergraduate programs. To enhance basic education in the arts, sciences, and humanities, each branch of the university created a general college for freshmen and sophomores.
