The University of Arizona, often known by the shorthand of UA and U of A, isn’t alone in its nickname.
The school went through its own internal style change earlier this year when it switched from its use of “UArizona” back to “U of A.” The original change was done to help the school’s search engine optimization, meaning its stature in search engine results.
