Compelled by its mission—to be dedicated to improving the lives of
the people of Alabama, the nation, and the world through
forward-thinking education, life-enhancing research and
scholarship, and selfless service—Auburn University has prepared
and inspired a new generation of students. Igniting talent,
challenging in ways never thought possible, and providing the tools
needed to be the difference makers in their professions, their
communities, and beyond is the hallmark of the university’s vision
and 160-year history. Auburn University was chartered in 1856 and
opened its doors in 1859 as a private liberal arts
institution.
Auburn University today is a comprehensive land, sea, and space
grant institution—among the few that hold that
distinction—occupying more than 1,840 acres and helping fulfill the
dreams of over 31,000 students. The university maintains very high
levels of research activity as an R1 institution and high standards
for teaching excellence—organized into 15 academic colleges and
schools, offering more than 150 undergraduate degrees, and over 550
student organizations. Auburn University boasts a long list of
rankings and accomplishments—rankings in the Top 50 among public
universities by U.S. News and World Report, to the Best
Value College by The Princeton Review, and to even holding
the distinction of being the top university for the Happiest
students by The Princeton Review, to name a few.
Auburn University's core traditions are passion and spirit rooted
in The Auburn University Creed, written in 1943 by George
Petrie, Professor and Administrator. It is one of the first true
traditions for the university, instilling the importance of hard
work, knowledge, and being a genuinely good person. The “Auburn
Family” is a closely connected community of over 250,000 that also
ranks among the 50 most powerful alumni networks in the
world.
