Institution Profile
 

The University of Arizona is a premier, student-centered research institution. Established in 1885 as the first university in the Arizona Territory and the state's only land grant institution, the UA embraces its three-fold mission of excellence in teaching, research and public service. Now in its second century of service to the state, the UA has become one of America's top 20 public research institutions. It is Arizona’s only member of the Association of American Universities, a prestigious organization that recognizes universities with exceptionally strong research and academic programs.

The University of Arizona resides on 380 acres in the heart of Tucson, Arizona. Tall palm trees, green grass and minimal motor traffic create the feel of an oasis. The UA's warm, colorful campus is in dramatic contrast to the industrial feel of many concrete-dominated institutions. The campus is home to hundreds of trees—a surprise to some who expect an arid desert. On the UA mall, "the" gathering place for students, a long swath of palm trees line grassy areas where students play volleyball, throw Frisbees and listen to live bands. Though the palms are the tallest of our trees, campus is home to a seemingly endless collection of desert-adapted and arid-land trees, many of which are more than 100 years old.
