George Washington’s Great Idea . . .
The concept of creating a great national university located in America’s capital city was actually the brainchild of President George Washington. It took more than a century from the time our first President proposed the idea until the actual founding of American University in Washington, DC. At uraccepted, we think George Washington would be proud of what his idea has become in the 21st century.
For many years, American University has been actively working to improve the quality of its faculty and academic offerings. It’s tackled the difficult task of raising money to build and improve its infrastructure. American is well aware of its mission as a significant university and has moved to regularly improve its position on the nation’s collegiate landscape.
Many universities have surprising benefactors and American is one of them. One of the university’s strongest financial supporters for the past half century has been the United Methodist Church!
