Clark Atlanta University was formed with the consolidation of Atlanta University and Clark College, both of which hold unique places in the annals of African-American history. Atlanta University, established in 1865 by the American Missionary Association, was the nation’s first institution to award graduate degrees to African-Americans. Clark College, established four years later in 1869, was the nation’s first four-year liberal arts college to serve a primarily African-American student population. Today, with over 4,000 students, CAU is the largest of the SIX institutions (CAU, INTERDENOMINATIONAL THEOLOGICAL CENTER, Morris Brown College, Morehouse College, Spelman College and Morehouse School of Medicine) that comprise the Atlanta University Center. It is also the largest of the 37-member UNCF institutions.
