The UAB Vision

A world-renowned research university and medical center -

a first choice fo r education and healthcare

This is how such a vision might have seemed in UAB's formative years, when a fledgling university and medical center in Birmingham set its sights on international prominence...

In the four decades since, this young, dynamic university has thrived on that same boldness and innovation to continue pushing the frontiers in science, medicine, business, education, the arts and the humanities - and has garnered national and international respect.

From the beginning, UAB's character and culture have been about breaking through and transcending...

Traditional boundaries among disciplines, to conduct intensely collaborative research and scholarship.

Long-accepted notions of the metropolitan versus the traditional campus, to form a university that is neither and both-the ideal convergence of the two.

Social and cultural barriers, to create a campus dubbed a "mecca of multiculturalism" in The Princeton Review.

And conventional strictures of the likely and unlikely in any given arena-the classroom, the lab, the studio or the stage-and in the lives and careers of students.
