Individually Distinct.
Altogether Stronger.
Comprising three of the most dynamic research universities in the South and a world-class medical center, The University of Alabama System is Alabama’s largest employer and a major driver for economic, intellectual, and cultural growth. But the real benefit comes when the System acts as a single, unified entity that shares one common mission for the state of Alabama.
