About Northern Arizona University

The main campus of Northern Arizona University (NAU), located in Flagstaff, Arizona, was established in 1899. It opened as the Northern Arizona Normal School, a teacher training institution, and its first graduating class consisted of four women. The school gained the right to grant bachelor’s degrees (in education) in 1925. Enrollment increased during the Great Depression but plummeted during WWII. During the post-war boom, the school expanded its education offerings beyond education into the arts and sciences. The school became Arizona State College at Flagstaff in 1945 and, by 1966, it had gained university status and adopted its present name. Its colors are blue and gold, and its athletic nickname is the lumberjacks.
