Success in your civilian career
You were well trained for the military from day one - prepared to meet any challenge, no matter how risky or dangerous. But we know that training doesn't always translate to civilian life. The good news is that UAB's many online degrees can help you pursue your college education while you transition to life after the military. We have a variety of scholarships available specifically for veterans just like you. Plus, as a yellow ribbon school, we offer important services dedicated to helping you succeed in the classroom and in your career. All of that is why U.S. News & World Report chose us as one of the best colleges for veterans. It's why you should choose us, too.
