History

Although it is now a large public research university, Auburn University began as a small private liberal arts institution in 1856. The school has had four different names through its history:

  • East Alabama Male College (1856-72)
  • Agricultural and Mechanical College (1872-99)
  • Alabama Polytechnic Institute (1899-1960)
  • Auburn University (1960-present)

The school closed from 1861 to 1866 due to the Civil War. Women were first admitted to the previously all-male college in 1892. In 1967, the Auburn Montgomery campus was established.
