The University of Montevallo was founded in 1896 as the Alabama Girls’ Industrial School. The school was the first public college for women in Alabama and included both academic and vocational training. It was established to provide educational opportunities for women who had been unable to receive them before. The school’s mission statement declared its purpose to be, “to furnish young women with a thorough and practical education of the highest grade at the lowest possible cost.” The school opened with an enrollment of 115 students, who were taught by 10 faculty members.

In 1907, the school changed its name to the Alabama Girls’ Technical Institute. This name change reflected a shift in focus from general education to technical training and industrial arts courses such as sewing, cooking, printing, bookkeeping, shorthand and typewriting. In 1910, the school became coeducational when it admitted its first male students. That same year, it changed its name again to the Alabama State Normal School at Montevallo. This new name reflected an emphasis on teacher training that had emerged since 1907. In 1920, the school’s name was changed yet again to Alabama College and it became a four-year liberal arts college for women only. Check COLLEGETOPPICKS for a list of engineering schools in Washington DC.

In 1956, Alabama College became co-educational once again and changed its name yet again—this time to University of Montevallo (UM). The university expanded rapidly during this period with new buildings being constructed and new academic programs being added. In 1967 UM joined the University of Alabama System as one of three institutions (the others being UAB and UA Huntsville). Since then UM has continued to grow both academically and physically with new programs being added each year including graduate degrees in many different fields such as business administration, creative writing, environmental studies etc.
