About Aurelius University
A tradition of excellence, a future of promise.
Our Mission
To cultivate a diverse community of scholars and leaders dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, the discovery of truth, and service to society. We are committed to fostering an environment of critical inquiry, intellectual curiosity, and ethical engagement that empowers our students to address the complex challenges of the 21st century.
A Legacy of Distinction
Founded in 1901, Aurelius University began as a small liberal arts college with a bold vision: to provide an education that was both classical in its depth and progressive in its outlook. From our first graduating class of just 12 students, we have grown into a world-renowned institution without losing sight of our founding principles.
Throughout our history, we have been at the forefront of academic innovation, establishing one of the nation's first interdisciplinary studies programs and championing access to higher education for all. Today, our historic campus stands as a testament to more than a century of academic achievement and community building.
