Auburn University at Montgomery

Auburn University at Montgomery, the metropolitan campus of Auburn University, was established by an act of the Alabama Legislature in 1967. Located on a 500-acre campus seven miles east of downtown Montgomery, AUM offers highly respected, accredited academic programs in a challenging but caring college environment.

A broad-based academic institution, AUM is organized into five schools: Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Nursing, and Sciences.

AUM offers graduate degrees in the Schools of Business, Education, Liberal Arts, and Sciences and the Education Specialist degree. A Ph.D. in public administration and public policy is offered jointly with Auburn University. In addition, AUM offers the Master of International Relations for permanent party officers, civilians, and noncommissioned officers at Montgomery's Maxwell Air Force Base.

Classes on the AUM campus are held Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at hours that vary from semester to semester. Offering classes during both the day and the evening hours has been a standard practice at the University since fall quarter, 1969,

and provides students greater flexibility in course scheduling. The total number of students enrolled at AUM during fall 2004 was 5,123. In addition to the students enrolled in credit courses, over 10,000 persons were enrolled in Continuing Education activities.

AUM is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the bachelor's, master's and specialist degrees as well as a joint doctoral degree with Auburn University. Classes are offered daytime, evenings and weekends.
