The first graduating class, in 1901, consisted of four women who received credentials to teach in the Arizona Territory. In 1925, the Arizona State Legislature allowed the school, which was now called the Northern Arizona State Teachers College, to grant Bachelor of Education degrees. In 1929 the school became Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff. Enrollment dropped sharply, however, at the beginning of World War II. ASTC became a Navy V-12 program training site. The end of World War II brought increased enrollment, as well as growth beyond teaching degrees. To reflect this growth, the school changed its name to Arizona State College at Flagstaff in 1945. It became simply Arizona State College in 1958 after Arizona State College at Tempe became Arizona State University. With further growth over the next two decades, the Arizona Board of Regents granted Arizona State College university status as Northern Arizona University in 1966.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northern Arizona University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
