Make Your Mark.
At UAB, you’re free to be different, even in your studies. We offer a wide range of degree programs—150+ majors and minors, to be exact—to speak to your interests, spark your imagination, and help you make your unique mark on the world. You’re probably familiar with our healthcare and science accolades, but our arts, business, education, and professional degrees are just as strong. And, unlike traditional core classes, our Blazer Core curriculum puts you in real-world settings to gain valuable experience while connecting with your community. Because we believe you have to be different to make a difference.
