History
Establishment
The American University was established in the District of Columbia by the Congressional Act on 5 December 1892, primarily due to the efforts of the Methodist bishop John Fletcher Hurst.
After more than three decades of dedicating mainly to secure financial support, the university was officially dedicated on May 15, 1914. The first instruction began on October 6 of that year, when 28 students were enrolled (19 of them graduate students, nine of whom were non-candidates for a degree). The First Event, where no title was given, was held on 2 June 1915. The Second Annual Event was held on June 2, 1916 where the first degree (one masters degree and two doctor degrees) was awarded.
Shortly after this early commencement ceremony, classes were interrupted by war. During World War I, the university allowed the US military to use some of its bases for testing. In 1917, the US military divided the American University into two segments, Camp American University and Camp Leach. Camp American University became the birthplace of the US chemical weapons program, and chemical weapons were tested on the grounds; this required a major cleaning effort in the 1990s. Camp Leach is home to advanced research, development and testing of modern camouflage techniques. In 2014, the Army Corps of Engineers are still moving weapons including mustard gas and mortars.
Over the next ten years, instruction is offered only at the graduate level, according to the original plan of the founder. In the fall of 1925, the College of Liberal Arts (hereafter the College of Arts and Sciences) was founded. Since that date, the university has offered degrees and undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In 1934, the School of Public Affairs was established.
During World War II, the campus again offered its services to the US government and served as the home of the US Navy Disposal School and the WAVE barracks. For the role of AU in this war effort, the Victory SS of Victory of America was named in honor of the university.
1949-1990
The current university structure began to emerge in 1949. The Washington Law School became part of the university that year, which began in 1896 as the first coeducational institution for the study of legal professionals in the District of Columbia. Shortly thereafter, three departments were reorganized as schools: School of Business Administration in 1955 (hereinafter Robert P. and Arlene R. Kogod College of Business Administration and in 1999 renamed Kogod School of Business); School of Government and Public Administration in 1957; and the International Service School in 1958.
In the early 1960s, the Department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency operated a think tank under the guise of Operation Camelot at American University. The government left the think tank after the operation became public attention. The political involvement of the AU was followed by President John F. Kennedy's early speech in Spring 1963. In his speech Kennedy requested the Soviet Union to work with the United States to reach a nuclear test ban and to reduce considerable international tension and the specter of nuclear war during the intersection The cold War.
From 1965 to 1977, the College of Continuing Education was present as a college that grants degrees with responsibility for adult education programs outside and off campus. Lucy Webb Hayes School of Nursing provided undergraduate study in Nursing from 1965 to 1988. In 1972, the School of Government and Public Administration, the School of International Services, the Center for Technology and Administration, and the Center for Justice Administration (later named the School of Justice) of Public and International Affairs.
The University purchased Immaculata Campus in 1986 to reduce the space problem. This will eventually become the Tenley Campus.
In 1986, the construction of the Adnan Khashoggi Sports and Convocation Center began. Financed with $ 5 million from and named for Saudi Arabian Guard Adnan Khashoggi, the building is intended to update athletic facilities and provide new arenas, as well as parking garages and office space for administrative services. At a cost of about $ 19 million, this building is the largest construction project to date, but met with protests by faculty and students to use the name Khashoggi in the building because of its involvement in international arms trade.
In 1988, the College of Public and International Affairs was reorganized to create two free-standing schools: the School of International Services and the School of Public Affairs, which incorporated Schools of Government and Public Administration and School of Justice. In the same year, the construction of the Adnan Khashoggi Sports Center was completed while the controversy of Iran-Contra Affair reached its peak despite its name remained in the building until after Khashoggi failed to fulfill its donation obligations in the mid to late 1990s.
1990-present
The School of Communication became independent from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1993.
In 1997, the American University of Sharjah, the only liberal, coeducational, arts university in the United Arab Emirates, signed a two-year contract with the AU to provide academic management, a contract that had been extended several times through August 2009. A team of senior AU Administrators was transferred to Sharjah to assist the establishment of the university and guide him through the accreditation process of College Colleges and Secondary Schools.
In 2003, America launched its largest fundraising campaign in its history. The program, ANEWAU , has the goal of collecting $ 200 million. In October 2009, the university raised $ 189.6 million. When the campaign is over, the university website states that it will "help attract and retain the best faculty, increase scholarship support, create and bless research and policy centers, ensure state-of-the-art resources in all our schools and colleges, expand global programs, and securing the university's long-term financial health by enhancing the blessing. "
In the fall of 2005, the new Katzen Art Center opened.
Benjamin Ladner was suspended from his post as university president on August 24, 2005, pending investigation of possible misuse of university funds for his personal expenses. University faculty passed a vote of disbelief on President Ladner on 26 September. On October 10, 2005, the American University Board of Supervisors decided Ladner would not return to the American University as its president. Dr Cornelius M. Kerwin, the longtime AU administrator, served as interim president and was appointed to a permanent position on September 1, 2007, after two outsiders declined the offer from the Supervisory Board. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, Ladner received a total compensation of $ 4,270,665 in his final year of service, the second highest of all university presidents in the United States.
Ground was damaged for the new School of International Service building on November 14, 2007, and was completed in 2010. A speech was given by Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI).
Neil Kerwin retired as AU president at the end of May 2017. The current president is Sylvia Mathews Burwell, whose official term begins on June 1, 2017.

During the summer, the dorms are used to accommodate students in the Washington Semester - Summer Internship Program.

For several years, former dormitories and academic buildings were demolished and replaced with a number of newer and more contemporary academic buildings that are now home to the Washington College of Law. Ironically, the reputation of law school has declined sharply since the construction began on the new campus. Graduates are reportedly burdened with huge amounts of debt, and by 2014 only 42% of graduates have jobs that require them to graduate from the Bar.

In 1981, WAVE-TV was officially recognized by the AU Student Confederation, and began full operation as a wide-circle closed-circuit television station, broadcasting three nights a week. WAVE-TV is funded by the Confederation of Students and by local advertisers.

Until the early 2000s, ATV filmed most of its shows at the SOC Media Production Center. After the AU renovation from Mary Graydon Center in 2002, ATV moved into a new dedicated studio and office space on the second floor of MGC, equipped with cameras and equipment donated to the station by AU alumni of Norman and Mary Klotz ('76, '79). Shortly after the move, ATV began broadcasting its program 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the first time.
ATV launched its first dedicated website in 2007, and launched live broadcast live streaming on campus in 2009, extending the reach of station programs beyond the student audience on campus for the first time. Most ATV viewers are now online.
