Student Testimonials

Sourabh from India, Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering
"I'm working full-time as a project analyst in the engineering department of Ford Motor Company in Michigan. What the company was looking for was exactly what I studied in the INTO pathway and the university. When I was a student at UAB, all classes that I took are very related to my job requirements. In addition, I was working with my professor for 1.5 years, and I got the graduate assistance job from School of Engineering after I completed my pathway at INTO UAB. I also built electrical-related devices for medical department at UAB. I think these experiences really helped me to get this good job."

Studing in the Pathway Program in biotechnology, you are taught the business skills to commercialize ideas and to find solutions using science.
Yingnan started his PhD in biomedical engineering at UAB in Fall 2019."
