The University of Alabama continues to grow with quality. Enrollment topped 30,000 for the first time in fall 2010. UA has planned carefully for this unprecedented growth in both numbers and quality, adding faculty, facilities and support functions to provide an excellent education to all students. For the third straight year, the 2010 freshman class embodies record-breaking academic quality. Increasingly, students and their parents across the country are recognizing the quality and value The University of Alabama offers.
In 2003, President Robert E. Witt announced that, by 2013, The University of Alabama would become a university of choice for the best and brightest; become a Tier One research university; become an academic community committed to serving the state of Alabama; and increase enrollment to 28,000. The University has achieved three of these goals and made substantial progress toward the fourth goal of becoming a Tier One research university. During the November 5, 2010, Board of Trustees meeting, Dr. Witt announced a blueprint for UA’s continued progress that remains focused on balanced excellence.

THE “ALABAMA EXPERIENCE” – DEFINED BY EXCELLENCE Alabama wins national championship No. 13, defeats Texas 37-21
The University of Alabama football team is honored by President Barack Obama at the White House.
The No. 1 ranked Alabama football team held true to its ranking, defeating secondranked Texas 37-21 in the 2010 BCS National Championship at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The 2009 national championship is the 13th in Alabama history. The victory in Pasadena comes 84 years after Alabama won its first national championship in the 1926 Rose Bowl game and makes this the fifth Alabama team to end their national championship campaign at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
$4 million of athletic royalty income funds academic scholarships UA moved from No. 5 to No. 2 nationally in Collegiate Licensing’s collegiate merchandise sales for 2009-2010, largely due to the success of our 2009 national championship in football. Our sales of national championship merchandise set a new record as the largest in CLC history. In September 2010, CLC projected that UA would finish the year with more than $8 million in royalty income; half of that money will be used to fund National Merit Scholarships for UA students.
