Located in Auburn, Alabama, Auburn Univerity is one of Alabama's largest schools. It also contains one of the most well-known college sports' teams. Auburn was chartered on February 1, 1856 and became the first four-year coeducational school in the state in 1892. Widely regarded as "Auburn" it's name officially changed in 1960. It is also one of the few American universities that acts as a land-grant, space-grant and sea-grant research center.

The college was closed during the Civil War mainly because most of the students and faculty left to enlist. The Confederate Army used the campus as a training ground, and the "Old Main" building was utilized as a hospital for the wounded. In 1952, a cannon lathe used for the manufacturing of cannons for the Confederate Army and recovered from Selma, Alabama, was presented to the school by brothers of Delta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity.

The first African-American student was admitted to the school in 1964. Up until that point, Auburn was racially segregated like most schools that existed in the south.

At present time, Auburn has over 23,000 students and a faculty of almost 1,200 just located at the main campus in Auburn. The Auburn University Montgomery satellite campus has over 6,000 students as well.

As far as sports go, Auburn is one of the charter members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Their teams are called the Tigers, and they compete in Division I-A of the NCAA and in the Western Division of the SEC. Auburn regularly wins competitions in swimming and diving, football, women's basketball, baseball and women's golf. The official colors of burnt orange and navy blue were chosen by Dr. George Petrie, Auburn's first football coach.

Gene Chizik currently coaches the football team. Auburn was coached by "Shug" Jordan to a 10-0 record in 1957 and was awarded the AP National Championship. The teams were also recognized in 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993, and 2004. Pat Sullivan in 1971 and Bo Jackson in 1985 both won the Heisman Trophy.
