“Auburn University was established in 1856 and remains one of the few universities to carry the torch as a land, sea and space grant university. Our students can choose from more than 140 degree options in 12 schools and colleges at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels. Auburn University has developed into one of the largest universities in the South, remaining in the educational forefront with its traditional blend of arts and applied science, and changing with the needs of today while living with a respect for the traditions and spirit that are Auburn.”
