where you’ll fit in – and stand out.
what it takes to be competitive.
UAH is big enough to offer the kinds of resources you won’t find at a small school, like a diverse student body, numerous dining facilities, a brand new multi-use student union center, 14 sports teams, an active Greek life, and over 120 student-run organizations. But it’s small enough to give you the personal attention you need to survive – and thrive – as a freshman, like small class sizes, a low student-tofaculty ratio, themed communities in the residence halls, and specially tailored programs like the First-Year Experience and Charger Success 101. It’s a perfect balance, ensuring you’ll have the independence to pursue your own unique experience at UAH and the resources and support to help you do so.
In today’s market, education and experience go hand in hand. That’s why at UAH we not only offer a challenging curriculum in over 80 areas of study, but we also encourage our students to take part in our many experiential learning opportunities. Because learning doesn’t just take place in the classroom. It takes place in our research centers through hands-on experiments, our co-ops through valuable real-world experience, and our study abroad program though awareness and immersion. These, and the solid educational foundation you’ll receive at UAH, are what will one day give you the competitive – and multifaceted – edge that you need to succeed in your chosen career.
APPLY NOW! inspired by your surroundings. From aerospace engineers who work at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to genetic engineers who work at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, the vibrant city of Huntsville boasts a highly educated professional workforce. In fact, we have more Ph.D.s per capita than any other city in the nation – not to mention a great job market! And matching Huntsville’s high-tech landscape is its natural beauty (and enviable climate) amid the foothills of the Tennessee Valley. That makes the Rocket City an ideal destination for both work and play – and the reason why so many of our students choose to stay and work in Huntsville after graduating from UAH.
