The American University (AU or American) is a private research university in Washington, D.C., United States; its main campus is located near Ward Circle in the northwest portion of the District of Columbia. In the late 18th century, George Washington had written about wanting a "national university" to be established in the nation's capital, but it took almost a century for that dream to be established. The university was chartered by an Act of Congress on February 24, 1893, as "The American University", when the bill was approved by President Benjamin Harrison.
The university has seven schools and colleges: the School of International Service, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business, School of Communication, School of Professional & Extended Studies, School of Public Affairs and the Washington College of Law.
AU's schools are consistently ranked highly in national college rankings; the School of International Service is ranked 8th for graduate programs and 9th for undergraduate programs in the world according to Foreign Policy. The School of Public Affairs is ranked 19th in the nation, tied with Columbia University and the University of California, Los Angeles according to US News & World Report.
