Troy University Montgomery Campus is one of the colleges in the Troy State University system and is aimed at adult learners. The Montgomery campus is located in downtown Montgomery, Alabama. University College, which operates all Troy colleges, operates more than 60 sites in 17 states across the country, and in 11 nations. Troy University was originally founded in 1887 as one of the state's Normal Schools, so named for a teaching method founded in France. In 1929, the college was renamed Troy State Teacher's College. The main campus in Troy was also established that year.

As a teaching college, the university prospered, especially after World War II, when returning service men and women took advantage of the G.I. bill to continue their education. In the 1950s, Troy University established a long-standing relationship with the military, offering classes on military bases. One of those established at Maxwell Air Force Base in 1965 led to the creation of the Montgomery campus as it is known today. In 1967, the colleges were removed from the control of the state board of education and renamed Troy State University. By 1982, the school was once again renamed to reflect its growing global presence outside of the state of Alabama. Today, more than 28,000 students worldwide attend programs offered through the entire Troy system.
