Opened in 1801 as Franklin College, it remained the sole college until 1859 when the University Board of Trustees reorganized the school and created three additional colleges specifically focused on Law, Agriculture, and Civil Engineering and Applied Mathematics.[2] From that point on the school was known as the Franklin College of Liberal Arts.[3]
