In North Carolina, NASCAR country by every account, one school is going beyond its peers in racing education by offering a Bachelor of Science in Motorsports Technology. N.C. Agricultural & Technical State University will be the first in the state to offer a B.S. in a racing field, while other schools like UNC-Charlotte offer concentrations in motorsports fields.
N.C. Agricultural & Technical State University, a historically black university, hopes to deepens NASCAR’s commitment to diversity by providing qualified students to NASCAR and the racing job market.
Currently, the state offers more than 25,000 jobs in the racing industry with an average salary of more than $70,000, according to the N.C. Motorsports Association. The industry provides approximately $6 billion of economic impact to the state.
