Alabama’s colleges and universities have a deep commitment to the educational needs of Alabama’s people, providing career and professional education in a variety of formats. That dedication comes through in all kinds of ways – strong technical and career-centered programs, flexible and convenient on-campus and online options, and, of course, value and affordability. Alabama has a long history of agriculture and still does, but Alabama’s real turning point came in 1960 with the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville – the largest NASA complex in the nation. Since that time, Alabama has capitalized on technology, making a major shift from its agricultural roots into aerospace, aviation, electronics, and auto manufacturing, with its colleges and universities leading the way.

Alabama Higher Education: Technology and Leadership 

The public higher education system in Alabama doesn’t get the attention of other Southern states like Florida and Texas, but it’s just as impressive. Alabama can point to not only the University of Alabama the flagship university in Tuscaloosa, but UA Huntsville, a center of the aerospace industry, and UA Birmingham – three major public research universities in the same system. Alabama has also emerged as an online education leader, with huge, fully online degree programs at the major UA schools, and smaller regional institutions like Troy University and Jacksonville State University. All of the UA system institutions are significant values, combining a low tuition rate with excellent returns thanks to Alabama’s growing economy. And Alabama’s schools are perfectly designed for the needs of working adults, with many members of Alabama’s workforce choosing to return to school for the credentials they need for Alabama’s 21st-century careers.
