The University of Alabama in Huntsville Gives You the Chance to Fit In and Stand Out

Everybody has something to love about The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). It is easy to find your place on a campus that is home to more than 89 degree programs of study, over 155 student-run organizations, 17 high-tech research centers and labs, and 15 NCAA sports. Our students enjoy small class sizes, nearly a dozen on-campus dining options, and over 490 acres of campus on which to build enduring friendships. And with graduates earning an impressive average base salary of $79,000, UAH empowers you to check off each item on your dream college wish list.

Have a Program in Mind? UAH Has It.

With over 94 degrees offered across nine colleges, there’s a pretty good chance UAH has a program to help you meet your professional goals after graduation. Factor in our 17 distinct research centers, laboratories, and institutes, and there is no limit to what you can learn at UAH. And thanks to a low student-to-faculty ratio, UAH gives you the opportunity to explore your interests and network to the fullest possible extent.

Research With the Best

UAH is synonymous with cutting-edge research. Our students conduct research alongside institutions such as NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the U.S. Army, and the Missile Defense Agency, just to name a few. Ranked as an “R1 – Very High Research Activity” by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, UAH is among America’s leading research-intensive universities.

UAH Is the First Step toward a Fulfilling Career

As a Charger, you will have the chance to become involved in internships and cooperative education, which allows a student to be placed in a degree-related field for multiple semesters with an employer. Both internships and co-ops help students not only fine-tune the knowledge they have gained in the classroom and research facilities, but also expand their professional networks. UAH is unique in providing students with countless opportunities to make an impact in the real world.
