Affordable Colleges (AC) Online recently awarded UAH the number one spot on their latest ranking of the "Highest Return on Investment Colleges in Alabama." According to the report, the goal was to build "a list of top colleges in Alabama with low net costs (tuition + fees) that result in career value." And with a return on investment of $903,500 - almost $130,000 more than second-ranked Auburn University - UAH proved that it does just that.
