Alabama State University information & programs

Alabama State University, founded in 1867, is a comprehensive regional university offering students from throughout the region, state and nation a world class education by providing learning experiences designed to develop intellectual abilities, as well as social, moral, cultural and ethical values. In so doing, the university is equipping its students with the skills, insights, attitudes and practical experiences that will enable them to become well-rounded and discerning citizens, fully qualified for their chosen professions in the workplace and service to humanity.

ASU has launched an extensive construction program that, in addition to the newly opened Forensic Sciences facility, includes the newly completed Fred Shuttlesworth Dining Hall, the $20 million Ralph D. Abernathy College of Education building and a $26 million Life Sciences Facility to house a Ph.D. program in microbiology. The University also recently completed the first of three phases of dormitory renovations, transforming six residence halls into suite-style living quarters. An expansion to the University's library as well as the construction of a new student life center also are planned.

Alabama State University has come far from the early days in its distinguished history as a teacher training institution and continues to build upon its proud legacy. For faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters, that “Ole Bama State Spirit” is alive and well -- and if the current growth and progress are any indication, that spirit will live on for generations to come.

ASU offers nearly 50 academic programs culminating in four-year bachelors, masters, education specialist and doctoral degrees. The university’s eight major academic units include the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, the College of Health Sciences, the College of Visual and Performing Arts, the Division of Aerospace (Air Force ROTC), the School of Graduate Studies and University College.
