Developing sensible solutions that make life better for people and communities in Alabama and around the world is more than our goal — it’s been our passion, purpose, and work since 1872. Our work — in classrooms and labs, in fields and waters, in boardrooms and communities — increases food production, finds new sources of energy, fuels economies, enhances our landscapes, and conserves our natural resources.

We are committed to preserving and promoting the university’s traditions, purposes, and growth. Our commitment to providing scholarship funding through our Auburn Clubs program, Auburn Alumni Association Scholars Endowment, Student Alumni Association, and other initiatives make a difference in the lives of Auburn students every day.

For more than 100 years, the CADC has set the pace for architecture, design and construction education in the Southeast. Today, our ambition is to shape design and construction thought and practice globally. We are one college with three schools — the School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture; the McWhorter School of Building Science; and the School of Industrial + Graphic Design — each regarded among the nation’s foremost for quality academic programs and applied research and outreach.

Our primary mission is to provide a quality education, leading to graduation, for the more than 500 student-athletes who compete as members of our 21 teams. We want to empower them to be successful in every aspect of their lives, from their coaches, to facilities, to the game-day experience in order to represent Auburn in the most positive manner.

Since 1967, we have provided students with detailed knowledge and hands-on, practical experience, often from professionals in the field. We have been ranked among the South’s top universities by U.S. News and World Report, were named one of the best colleges in the Southeast by The Princeton Review, are designated as a Military Friendly School, and are consistently chosen as the best university in the area.

We are proud to contribute to the success of every student at Auburn University by teaching the core courses in science and mathematics taken by all students, providing them with a foundation to support success in their chosen major. Our students are the doctors, scientists, and mathematicians of the future who will go on to contribute greatly to society. We teach by providing an environment that ensures excellence, advance research by creating and discovering new knowledge, and promote outreach by developing educational collaborations locally, nationally, and abroad.

Since 1915, our work has touched and improved the lives of individuals as we prepare professionals capable of identifying, finding, and applying appropriate, innovative ways to solve societal concerns. In realizing our mission, our graduates teach and lead in schools, transition individuals with disabilities to the workforce, research health and wellness interventions, and serve in the community. Their success is how we measure the impact of our work.

We have embraced a bold vision to become one of the nation’s premier engineering institutions by providing the best student-centered engineering experience in America, being a leader in providing research that improves the quality of life and fosters economic competitiveness, and enabling a dynamic faculty that exemplifies excellence and innovation. We are advancing engineering innovation through research in strategic areas, including advanced manufacturing, biomedical and pharmaceutical engineering, cyber security and information technology, energy and the environment, engineering materials and nanotechnology, and infrastructure and transportation.

We are dedicated to nurturing an era of sustainable forestry that will ensure future generations have abundant supplies of forest products, diverse wildlife populations, and clean air and water. The school serves the renewable natural resources needs of the citizens of Alabama and society as a whole through a comprehensive approach to education, research, and extension.

We are the champion for graduate education across the entire Auburn University campus and have been preparing graduate students to emerge as leaders and innovators in academia, industry, and the government since we began in 1872. Working alongside world-class faculty members, Auburn graduate students in every academic discipline are addressing real-world
problems while honing their critical thinking and research skills.

Our mission is to produce highly desired graduates and generate knowledge that drives industry thought and practice. We have grown by 50 percent over the last seven years, with programs that lead the nation and research centers that guide the Fortune 100. Our upward trajectory is helping us fulfill our vision to be among the elite public business schools in the U.S.

We cultivate excellence in undergraduate education by recruiting outstanding students and providing them with rigorous, individualized, integrated academic experiences in small classes taught by Auburn’s best faculty. Along with enriching extracurricular activities, Honors students — approximately 10 percent of Auburn’s total student population — benefit from an intensive, high-quality education that promotes critical thinking, advances learning, and develops leadership skills.

We are dedicated to providing Auburn men and women with a world-class education — ensuring our graduates leave campus not only technically competent, but also globally aware and socially engaged. We inspire students to be fearless in pursuit of their dreams and tenacious in seeking solutions both to problems in their personal and professional lives as well as to the grand, global challenges of our time.

We foster the transformative power of art — educating and inspiring 21 st century problem solvers across all disciplines within the university. By preserving and enhancing the collections entrusted to us, hosting contemporary artists, securing collection loans with significant historic value, and showcasing it all in a handsome facility with gardens and grounds for sculpture, Auburn’s art museum reinforces the university’s mission of instruction, research, and outreach. In addition, the museum’s accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums is a distinction held by less that six percent of museums nationwide and by no other university art museum in the state of Alabama.

We challenge our students to learn in new ways, think beyond the obvious, and work across disciplines. We graduate informed, well-educated citizens ready to lead in today’s global society. Through the efforts of a dedicated, nurturing faculty, the college is on course to better educate and inspire our students to shape the future of our state, nation, and world. Because the university’s core curriculum emphasizes the importance of English composition, literature, history, and the social sciences in developing educated citizens, our influence is felt throughout campus and by every Auburn undergraduate student.

Our goal is to serve as the hub of Auburn’s intellectual resources and thus further its instructional, research, and outreach mission. In line with this goal is a commitment to be premier among our peers in the Association of Research Libraries.

Our reputation for collaborative education, research, practice, and outreach makes Auburn’s School of Nursing a leader in preparing nurses for 21 st century practice and redefining primary care delivery. This campaign provided us with a new home for the School of Nursing — a solution to growing our enrollment, exposing our students to even greater hand-on experiences and the latest in medical technology. It also enables us to have a more significant influence on alleviating nursing shortages within our state and nation.

Our mission is to bring the university to the people to help them meet their educational needs and improve the quality of life in their communities. Strategically, we focus on the greatest needs of our state — economic development, workforce training, health and wellness, and educational access. Our goals include building a lifelong learning relationship with each person we serve, as well as maintaining a vital partnership between the university and very community we affect.

Diversity at Auburn University encompasses the whole of human experience — race, gender, ethnicity, physical ability, nationality, age, religion, sexual orientation, economic status, and veteran status. These and other socially and historically important attributes reflect the complexity of our increasingly diverse student body, local community, and national population. Auburn recognizes and values the considerable educational benefits that a diverse campus community provides as we prepare our students for life and leadership in a multicultural world.

Auburn’s pharmacy program has long been considered on the of the top programs in the country. For more than 130 years, we have been educating highly qualified pharmacists while conducting leading research in health outcomes and drug development. We continue to improve medications through innovative research, education, and patient care.

Research at Auburn is producing increasingly effective results and is on the verge of breaking into the top tier of prestigious research universities. We act as the catalyst in uniting the intellectual power and passion for discovery of highly skilled and experienced faculty with bright graduate and undergraduate students. Right now, at Auburn, great research ideas are poised to cure cancer, secure and defend our cyber networks, and meet our food and energy needs sustainably and responsibly.

We play a pivotal role in enhancing students’ classroom experiences through access to leadership programs, service initiatives, and recreational opportunities. We cultivate a healthy and supportive campus environment that engages students, advances learning, encourages leadership, and prepares them for future success. We empower our students to pursue their passions and develop their full potential, while enriching the quality of their campus experience.
