The University of West Alabama is a public four-year institution offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. The University of West Alabama was chartered in 1835 as Livingston Female Academy and State Normal College, a church-related female academy, and admitted its first students in 1839. After difficult times during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods, the school reopened in the late 1860s or early 1870s. Although it appears that a few male students were admitted following the reopening, a resolution by the Board of Trustees in 1876 excluded boys, and this policy was followed until the beginning of the 20th century.
The University of West Alabama competes in the Eastern Division of the Gulf South Conference in NCAA Division II. It sponsors 12 different sports in men's and women's teams. The official colors of the university are red, white, and black. The university's mascot is the Tigers. Athletic scholarships are given to those participating in a sport at the university.
