Put the “Bam” in Alabama
(Rocket) launch your career in Alabama
Looking for a downhome school that promises southern charm, an insane student section at football games, oh, and ample employment opportunities after graduation? With 61 colleges and universities packed into its 52,419 square miles, there’s something for everyone in Alabama. Healthcare majors will have plenty of career opportunities since hospitals take 3 of the top 10 spots for the state’s largest employers.* Or if military studies or engineering is your game, you’ll fit right in at the Maxwell Air Force Base and the U.S. Army base of Redstone Arsenal. And with dozens of automobile suppliers setting up facilities in Alabama—Honda, Hyundai, and Toyota to name a few—an auto technician certification or mechanical engineering degree will keep you prospering in “The Yellowhammer State.”
Stake your collegiate claim in some of Alabama’s largest cities, including Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and the rapidly growing Auburn. Home to the snaking Tennessee River, several national forests, and a short Gulf coast, Alabama’s got it all for nature lovers and outdoor adventurers. Relax on the beaches, dress up for an SEC football game, savor some sweet tea, enjoy a few rounds of golf, or brush up on your civil rights history that started here with Rosa Parks. And with the Marshall Space Flight Center located in Huntsville, your aspiration to be a rocket scientist could be closer than you think. Choosing a school in growing, evolving Alabama? They don’t call it “Sweet Home” for nothing.
