Auburn University has a rich history dating back to 1856, when it was founded as the East Alabama Male College — just 20 years after the city of Auburn was established. In 1872, it became the first land-grant college in the South under the Morrill Act, adopting the name Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama. The institution continued to evolve, becoming the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in 1899. Finally, in 1960, it was renamed Auburn University, a title that reflects both its location and its growth into a comprehensive, nationally recognized university with a broad academic curriculum.
The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering is focused on providing the best student-centered engineering experience in America. We pride ourselves on providing hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for students both inside and outside the classroom. By providing a student-centered learning experience and high levels of engagement with faculty, we graduate engineers capable of addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges in the engineering field.
