The Blazer Community
UAB's brainpower draws from our diversity -- diversity of ideas, of backgrounds, of specialties, of perspectives. Our campus is filled with individuals; our success is driven by their collaboration.
At UAB, students come first. There are exciting opportunities for experiential learning to prepare you for graduate education or a career -- whether in research, the music studio, or during an internship, study away or a service-learning project. Here, you get the benefits of a "real world" environment in a university world-renowned for science, health and technology, on a campus that values diversity. Qualified students in all disciplines can participate in a challenging curriculum through our Honors Academy. The relatively small undergraduate student body means you get more attention from our top faculty. Highly rated advisors help you create a seamless path from matriculation to graduation and beyond. Academic support services prepare you for success. The low cost of tuition means that it's a real value. It all happens in Birmingham -- recently named one of the most livable cities in America -- where museums and concerts, beautiful parks and must-see attractions are minutes away.
