The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff was authorized in 1873 by the Reconstruction-era legislature as the Branch Normal College. In 1927, the school severed its ties with the University of Arkansas and became Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical & Normal College (AM&N) and it moved to its current campus location in 1929. In 1972, AM&N merged back with the University of Arkansas system and became what it is now as well as gained its university status as the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) .
