The

(

or

) is a

Its main campus spans 90 acres (36 ha) near
Ward Circle
, a residential area in the northwest of the District. AU was chartered by the

,
internationalism
, and
pragmatic idealism
.

AU broke ground in 1902, opened in 1914, and admitted its first undergraduates in 1925. Although affiliated with the
United Methodist Church
, religious affiliation is not a criterion for admission.
