<p>As a land-grant institution, Auburn University is 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.</p><p><br></p><p>Auburn UniversityвЂ™s mission concisely describes our central purpose. Our mission statement begins with a reference to the universityвЂ™s origins and obligations as a public land-grant university. The 1862 Morrill Act created institutions of higher education that focused on agriculture and mechanical artsвЂ”a response to changing social and economic conditions. Land-grant universities would provide practical solutions to pressing societal problems and provide higher education to a much broader segment of the American citizenry. Land-grant universities would eventually serve as the creators of economic opportunity and development. As such, we must never lose sight of the important educational, research, and service responsibilities inherent in our land-grant lineage. After its founding as a land-grant university, Auburn has also been designated, through federal legislation, as a sea-grant and space-grant university.</p><p><br></p><p>Our first responsibility is to educate our students and prepare them for life. We endeavor to expand their minds, broaden their experiences, and hone their capabilities by imparting both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Our goal is to empower and inspire our students to be their very best and to achieve their hopes and dreams. A key element of our public charter and of the Auburn Creed is to ensure our students are instilled with a strong work ethic, sound character traits, and core values of honesty and respect. We encourage students to make valuable contributions and to lead their fellow citizens in creating meaningful change. This responsibility to build moral character and inculcate active social responsibility distinguishes the student experience at all land-grant universities, and certainly at Auburn University.</p><p><br></p><p>Our second responsibility is to drive the development of research and scholarship that creates and advances knowledge. We support, build upon, and leverage the expertise of our faculty, students, and partners to discover, innovate, and create new science, new technologies, and new applications and methodologies that tangibly improve our world.</p><p><br></p><p>Our third responsibility, engagement and outreach, leverages the value of the first two elements. We have to enable our students, graduates, faculty, and partners to transform the fruits of our research and scholarship into products, methods, and services that meet our communitiesвЂ™ most pressing needs. Delivering real-world, practical solutions is what sets land-grant universities apart and is core to Auburn UniversityвЂ™s foundation.</p><p><br></p><p>To be among the best land-grant universities, we must continue to excel in all three responsibilities. This requires leveraging the synergy found in the interchange of education, research, and service to maximize our impact on Alabama and the world.</p>

Auburn History
Chartered in 1856, Auburn University opened in 1859 and has had four official names. The university started out as the East Alabama Male College, a Methodist institution. Classes were first held for 80 students with a faculty of six in 1859 at the East Alabama Male College, a Methodist institution. In 1872, the college became a state-owned, land-grant institution and was renamed the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, changing from a private liberal arts school to a state-supported college with emphasis on new scientific and agricultural programs. As expansion continued, the Alabama Legislature decided in 1899 that a new name was needed to reflect the institutions growth, and the college became the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. As Charles Thach, the university's sixth president, stated, The Alabama Polytechnic Institute, a high sounding phrase, is fit for legal documents and grave legislation, but not to conjure with and not to yell and not to dream with as is fair.The Legislature agreed, and in 1960 the Alabama Polytechnic Institute became Auburn University.</p></div><div class='accommodation-section'><h3 class='section-title'>Accommodation</h3><p class='section-content'> </p></div><div class='other fees-section'><h3 class='section-title'>Other Fees</h3><p class='section-content'>Student Services Fee: $937.00
