Our 2014 freshman class was the largest and best qualified in UA history, with one in four freshmen enrolling in Honors College. UA's graduates and students include numerous Rhodes, Goldwater, Truman and Hollings Scholars.  Participation in original research and creative activity is a hallmark of the undergraduate experience at UA, with students working closely with faculty on a wide variety of challenging and innovative projects.  In addition to equipping our students to succeed academically, The University of Alabama's programs set the bar high for character, service and citizenship.  Students are encouraged to participate in one or more of 500 campus organizations.  Campus ministries are thriving.  At The University of Alabama, our students are members of a proud family that is more than 180 years old.  That's why we treat them as if they were our own sons and daughters.
