About University of Arizona

The University of Arizona (UA) was founded in 1885, when Arizona was still a territory (it entered the Union in 1912).

Because there were no high schools in the Arizona Territory, UA also offered college-preparatory classes for the first 23 years of its existence.

Today, UA operates 19 separate schools and colleges—including the James E. Rogers College of Law and the University of Arizona College of Medicine (with campuses in both Tucson and Phoenix)—in addition to numerous institutes and centers.

Among the latter, one of the most noteworthy is the cutting-edge Center for Consciousness Studies.

UA’s student body consists of approximately 46,000 souls.

Four UA-connected individuals have won the Nobel Prize, to wit:

Physicists, Willis Lamb, Nicolaas Bloembergen, and Brian Schmidt
Economist, Vernon Smith

Mathematicians, Charles Newman & Vladimir Zakharov
Philosophers, Keith Lehrer, David Chalmers, Shaun Nichols & Jenann Ismael
