Colleges
The first steps towards the establishment of the University of Mosul were taken in 1959, with the founding of the College of Medicine which was then part of the Ministry of Health, and subsequently linked to the University of Baghdad until the University of Mosul was created in 1967.
In 1963 two more colleges were established: the College of Engineering and the College of Science, followed by the College of Agriculture in 1964 and College of Arts on 1966.
Reflecting the increasing needs of the different academic specialization in Iraq, the university continued to establish more colleges and departments: in 1975 the Education College was founded, and the Veterinary Medicine College in 1976. By 2011 there were a total of 23 colleges, and this framework still exists.

Famous quotes containing the word colleges:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through the poverty or the splendor of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quarry from whence we get tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to learn grammar. Colleges and books only copy the language which the field and the work-yard made.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
