American University

      private, coeducational institution of higher learning in Washington, D.C. The American University was incorporated in 1891 as a graduate school and research centre with ties to the Methodist church. It was chartered by an act of the U.S. Congress in 1893 but did not begin to function until 1914, when graduate-level courses were begun. An undergraduate division was founded in 1925, and in 1949 the university became affiliated with the Washington College of Law. The American University has schools of public affairs, international service, and communication, colleges of education and of arts and sciences, the Kogod College of Business Administration, and the Washington College of Law, all of which offer professional degrees. Students can study abroad at centres located throughout Europe and South America or in Beijing. Total enrollment is approximately 9,400.
