American University

American University, in Washington, D.C., is a private undergraduate and graduate university. It is particularly noted for its faculty and student involvement in the political process, often "from the inside". Princeton Review, since 2006, has twice designated it as the most politically active in the United States.

While it is officially "liberal arts", its six colleges also cover law, communications, business, international service, and public affairs. It is affiliated with the Methodist Church, although the campus is extremely open to all religions.
