Its main campus is in Flagstaff, with off-campus sites throughout the state and a center in Yuma. The University is governed by the Arizona Board of Regents. NAU emphasizes undergraduate education, while offering graduate programs in selected fields. The University's commitment to undergraduate education is exemplified by a strong emphasis on teaching, close interaction between students and faculty, and a program in liberal studies that emphasizes written and oral discourse, critical reasoning, and knowledge of our heritage. NAU maintains high quality undergraduate education by offering many small classes taught by full-time faculty; by providing faculty advising for individual students; by encouraging students to undertake creative, scholarly, and research endeavors in cooperation with faculty; and by providing an enriching residential environment on the Flagstaff campus. NAU's Location NAU's campus is surrounded by pines and aspens and is dominated by the majestic San Francisco Peaks. The University's location on the Colorado Plateau provides ready access to Grand Canyon National Park and many national monuments, as well as forests, deserts, mountains, lakes, unique and varied geological phenomena, ruins of early Indian cultures, sites of significant historical interest, and the homes of several Indian tribes. Flagstaff is situated in Coconino National Forest at an elevation of 7,000 feet. The elevation, the clean air, Arizona's sunshine, and the protection provided by the forest give the city an unsurpassed climate year round. In the summer, Flagstaff is cool and comfortable, enjoying an average temperature of 65 degrees. The winter offers sunny days and beautiful snow scenes. Few locations in the Southwest offer more ideal conditions for study and recreation. Flagstaff is served by two airlines and a transcontinental bus line. It is also on the main route of the Santa Fe Railroad. Several highways pass through Flagstaff, including U.S. Interstate Highways 40 and 17 and U.S. Highways 66 and 89. Flagstaff is a little more than two hours from Phoenix and less than two hours from the Grand Canyon. Academic Programs The University's main academic objective is to provide an educational environment that leads students to independent thought, creativity, and mastery of the fundamentals essential to a productive life. NAU's academic programs are shaped in part by the unique geographical and cultural environment in which the University is situated. Being on the Colorado Plateau, adjacent to the Navajo and Hopi reservations, and within the largest ponderosa pine forest in the nation, NAU draws from and adds to these significant resources by offering on-site instruction, field research, and collaborative initiatives with local, state, federal, and tribal agencies. The University's undergraduate academic program is also distinguished by its emphasis on liberal studies. Through NAU's required liberal studies coursework, students in Introduction 3 all degree programs begin to master the skills of expression and analytical thinking, and they broaden their intellectual, philosophical, and cultural experience. An important part of the liberal studies emphasis is the honors program for qualified undergraduates. NAU's academic programs are offered through six colleges, a center, and two free- standing schools. The colleges of Arts and Sciences, Creative and Communication Arts, and Social and Behavioral Sciences offer most of the liberal studies curriculum and related majors in the arts, letters, and sciences. The other academic units offer strong professional and career programs in business, education, engineering, forestry, health professions, and hotel and restaurant management. In addition, NAU offers several interdisciplinary programs, including Quaternary Studies and Colorado Plateau Studies. NAU's Broader Role In addition to providing comprehensive academic programs in a wide range of disciplines, NAU also has a broader mission that includes promoting the value of cultural diversity, providing educational opportunities to the non-metropolitan parts of Arizona, and offering a variety of public service programs. The University believes that valuing cultural diversity is crucial to a well-rounded education. NAU exercises leadership in multicultural appreciation by recruiting underrepresented and ethnic students, faculty, staff, and administrators and by providing multicultural activities and programs. The University also offers extensive programs to assist American Indian and Hispanic students in their academic endeavors. NAU has the fourth largest American Indian student population of any university in the nation. In addition, NAU is responsible for extending instruction to Arizona's non-metropolitan counties and for providing teacher education throughout the state. The University fulfills this responsibility by offering extensive off-campus instruction through interactive television programming, continuing education classes, field-based sites, and the center in Yuma. NAU also takes very seriously its commitment to public service. The University offers a variety of services to the citizens of Arizona, from assisting with rural education and economic development, particularly on Indian reservations, to serving as a fine arts center for the region. While individual faculty members are encouraged to pursue a wide range of professional interests, the University emphasizes those research, scholarly, and creative endeavors that are based on NAU's relationship to the rural areas of the state and to the Colorado Plateau region. As a result, NAU has a significant reservoir of expertise to offer Arizona's citizens through its diverse programs and services. Accreditation NAU is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Professional programs are accredited by corresponding national boards or commissions. These include the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, the American Chemical Society, the American Dietetic Association, the National Association of Schools of Music, the Society of American Foresters, and the Council on Social Work Education. 4 Introduction Undergraduate health programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Dental and Dental Auxiliary Educational Programs of the American Dental Association, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and the American Physical Therapy Association. The nursing program is accredited by the State Board of Nursing and the National League of Nursing Accreditation. The Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology has accredited the baccalaureate programs in civil, electrical, mechanical, and computer science engineering, and the undergraduate programs in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering technology are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The programs of the Center for Excellence in Education, ranging from baccalaureate through the doctorate, are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. In addition, the Institute for Human Development is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. NAU is affiliated with the American Council on Education, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the American Council of Learned Societies, and many other major national and international associations. History The institution that is now Northern Arizona University has seen much growth and many changes in the 92 years since it was first established. It began in September 1899 as the Northern Arizona Normal School, with an enrollment of 33 students. Four young women from this group made up the first graduating class in 1901, receiving diplomas that warranted them life certificates to teach in the schools of Arizona Territory. In 1925, the legislature of the state of Arizona changed the status of the institution from a normal school to a four-year college that could grant the bachelor of education degree; at that time, the school s name was changed to Northern Arizona State Teachers College. Graduate work began in 1937, when permission was granted to offer a program leading to the master of arts in education
