Graduate programs at UAH date back to 1963, and doctoral programs were introduced in 1971. The University has over 250 full members of the Graduate Faculty, many of whom are internationally-recognized scholars in their fields. Some 300 masters degrees (in twenty or so programs) and 40 doctorates (in twelve programs) are graduated annually, making UAH a strong contributor to graduate education in the State, the Nation and the World. In addition, we offer non-degree certificate programs in several areas and we also welcome non-degree students to our graduate course offerings. Our programs cover a plethora of disciplines in five colleges: Administrative Science, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Nursing, and Science. You can also link to our admissions information and application materials page. Over 1000 graduate students are enrolled in our masters and doctoral programs, and are actively involved in all matters relating to graduate education through graduate student associations.
The University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the Graduate School in particular, is committed to providing a quality educational experience at all levels. Our goal is to provide you the best post-baccalaureate education possible, both in formal coursework and in the research experiences associated with thesis and dissertation work. Our graduate programs are supported both by internal funding and by a strong base of externally sponsored research. Many of our graduate students work on state-of-the-art research projects in the preparation of their theses and dissertations. The high rate of success is evidenced by the consistently large number of students on the Dean's List. Highly competitive stipends for teaching and research assistantships are available, and many of our students are supported by fellowship programs.
