Auburn Montgomery (AUM) is a coeducational public university located in Montgomery, Alabama, USA. It is a branch campus of Auburn University and was established by an act of the Alabama Legislature in 1967. AUM offers programs of study leading to bachelor's, master's, and specialist degrees in business, education, liberal arts, nursing, and science. In addition, AUM offers doctorates in the three programs in conjunction with Auburn University. The university enrolls approximately 5,000 students, with an additional 10,000 enrolled in continuing education programs. In January 2007, the university moved toward branding itself as "Auburn Montgomery."
AUM originated from an extension center operated by the University of Alabama. The extension center was located on Bell Street between downtown Montgomery and Maxwell Air Force Base and began offering classes in 1936. In the mid-1960s, Montgomery civic leaders began making plans to convert the extension into a full four year degree-granting university. The University of Alabama expressed little desire to add another university to the University of Alabama System; therefore, Auburn University purchased the property from the University of Alabama and began operating AUM as a part of Auburn University.
AUM was established in 1967 by Act 403 of the Alabama Legislature. In March of 1968, Dr. H. Hanly Funderburk, Jr. was appointed vice president and chief administrator of the newly created university. Classes officially began in the fall of 1969 but remained at the Bell Street location until construction of the new campus was completed. In the fall of 1971, AUM moved into its new 500 acre campus located seven miles east of downtown Montgomery. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accredited AUM as an operationally separate institution in 1973. Accreditation was reaffirmed in 1978, 1988, and 1998.
