About The Graduate School
Welcome from the Dean of The Graduate School
Thank you for your interest in the Graduate School of the University of Alabama! A decision on where to pursue your Graduate education is a complex one. As a graduate student at UA, you will join one of the top-rated public universities in the U.S., with numerous graduate programs ranked among the nation’s best.
Like the rest of the University, the Graduate School is growing from about 3,800 students in 2006 to 4,000 in 2007, and perhaps 5,000 by 2013. But our major emphasis is on improving the quality of the graduate student experience at UA and making sure our graduates are marketable. In short, we seek to be the best student-centered Graduate School in the Southeast and the nation.
Many new programs offer additional funding for student research, travel to meetings, health insurance, and other student support. Assistantship and fellowship opportunities, already plentiful, are expanding rapidly. Browse the information in this brochure and then contact us to set up a campus visit.
