Research opportunities are easy to come by in the department. You just have to ask around to make connections and the professors will help you find something.

Many successful students go into UAB medical school. UAB?s forensic science master's program also boasts high job placement invaluable positions, some even coming in while students are still in their undergraduate years.

They were so personal and helpful to me during the admissions process. I can tell they care about me and my success as a student. My advisor is wonderful and always so excited about where I'm going with my life.

Very well! The University of Alabama at Birmingham hospital has a large staff of nurses and are always hiring more. Students in the UAB nursing program are almost always guaranteed a job after graduation!

They have one of the best nursing schools and a great medical reputation. They provide lots of opportunities for research. UAB is very diverse and welcoming to every student that comes there. It feels like a home away from home!

Going into the medical field I will not be getting a job right after college. Getting a job with the university is also hard and they rarely check the job site. It's easier to get a job with them if you already have one.

Football school looked fun on tv good scholarships are given big Greek life presence on campus a plethora of options for majors and minors. Research and shadowing opportunities were plentiful. A huge quad and all the buildings are in walking distance of each other.

The placements are great. We have alumni in all 50 states. The career services office helps us find jobs in the markets that we want. The opportunities vary depending on class rank but everyone gets a job.

This college is close to my home and it offered a great scholarship package. I want to practice law in Alabama, so it made sense to attend here. I went to a large university, so having a large university feel with the smaller law school community appealed to me.
