Institutional Information for Reviewers

History and Characteristics Founded by the Alabama Legislature in 1887, Troy University serves students in southeast Alabama through its residential campus in Troy, Ala., and through campuses that provide academic programs on weekends and evenings to adult students in Montgomery, Dothan, and Phenix City, Ala. In 1961, the institution responded to a request from the Department of Defense to provide college programs on military bases, leading to the university’s presence on or near military bases around the world.

Troy University’s support for students in the military has provided the impetus for leadership in dis-tance learning over the past 50 years. The University provides a seamless blend of distance learn-ing and classroom delivery that enables a student to move around the globe and continue his or her work on an academic degree.

Troy University strongly supports the economic development strategies of the State of Alabama through a growing emphasis on international programs that enable students in Alabama to study with students from around the world on the residential campus and that engages students in other countries in Troy’s academic programs. In Alabama, Troy University is where “East meets West.”

The University is proud to host the Republic of China’s only Confucius Institute in Alabama and col-laborates with partner institutions in several countries.

With approximately 30,000 students enrolled around the world, Troy University is a leader in provid-ing access to affordable higher education.

DISTANCE LEARNING Troy University offers associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees, and master’s degrees online for its students. These distance learning programs, offered through eArmyU and through Troy University’s eCampus, may be completed entirely online. However, Troy University makes it possible for stu-dents to mix classroom courses from any of our campuses that are approved for a degree program with their online program to complete their degree. Conversely, students taking courses at any Troy University location can take a course through eCampus if it applies to their programs, if it more con-veniently fits their schedules.

For example, a student who is stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington and is taking courses at that lo-cation, may select to seamlessly switch over to eArmyU courses if deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. A student working on a Master of Science degree in Criminal Justice in Augusta, Ga. who needs a specific course to complete her degree, but has a conflict with her work schedule when the degree is offered, can take the course online.

Baccalaureate degrees: Business, Criminal Justice, Resource Technology Management

Baccalaureate degrees: Applied Computer Science, Business, Criminal Justice, Political Science, Psychology, Resource Technology Management, Social Science, Sport and Fitness Manage-ment
