University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham, AL - The UAB campus offers the best of both worlds – the energy and opportunity of a big city nestled in the serene foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Cosmopolitan Birmingham is home to a thriving arts and culture scene, as well as a “knowledge economy,” in which students have access to more than 3,000 internships, co-ops, and clinical activities a year, and more than 150 active student organizations. UAB’s growth as a world-renowned research university and medical center has driven the social, cultural, and economic revival of Birmingham. Consequently, The Carnegie Foundation recognizes UAB not only in its highest tier for “research activity,” but also in its “Community Engagement” category, making this university one of a select few nationally to achieve both classifications.
