University of Alabama at Birmingham Reviews

"The program is highly competitive and prepares students for a successful career in advanced practice nursing."

"My graduate program has several pros. The faculty is highly qualified and diverse. They come from all over the US and Canada. Many of my instructors are involved with research in the Physical Therapy field. This ensures that we are learning the latest information pertaining to our field. The instructors serve as excellent role models. The only con is the lab facilities need to be updated, but they are planning to do that soon."

"U.A.B. is the perfect balance of practical and theoretical knowledge that prepares its students to compete globally."

"UAB is a great research institution including options for trans-disciplinary research."

"Excellent value in graduate programs. Relationships with surrounding industry are excellent."

"While this is a rigorous program, the support of the faculty is outstanding! It is a very community-oriented school and everyone is willing to help in anyway possible. Great career and professional development opportunities as well!"

"The reputation of UAB is phenomonal! The research and resources available to students makes UAB an awesome health sciences university to attend. I am proud to be getting my Masters from such a well known university. I also think that the cost of the program makes it even more worth it. I will be obtaining a well respected degree without having tons of student loans. Birmingham is also a great city to spend a few years in. Im looking forward to getting the southern school feel in a relatively big, unique city."

"Highly regarded program but poor student services/support system."

"UAB has an excellent ESL certification program. Students learn up to date standards and strategies for teaching ELs. One can also get a double certification in ESL and either Spanish or French. My only disappointment is that the Ed.S. is not available with a dual certification."

"The staff are very accessible. They care about the profession and wants the students to do well."

"Strong networking is associated with the UAB name in Healthcare with a 93% job placement rate on the day of graduation. The campus itself has poor parking and needs to work on its campus transportation."

"I really enjoy my educational experience. I would do it again!!!"

"Overall, I thoroughlly enjoyed my time at UAB. All of the graduate professors were very attentitive to the individual students and pushed us to the next level. I have recommended this program to several friends who are interested in a graduate program."

"The program allowed the opportunity to interact with faculty members interested in similar fields. I enjoyed working with my mentor and have learned how to publish valuable results. I wish other students can learn similarly. The campus allows room to meet new people from different backgrounds. A car is necessary to get around the city as there isn't much public transportation. Additional funds are hard to obtain unless the mentor is willing to sponsor through grant money."

"Vast opportunities for career growth-Pro Limited scholarship opportunities- con"

"I believe the University of Alabama at Birmingham has maintained a high quality of education to its students. The faculty are always inviting students to participate in career fairs, interview seminars, etc. and really want the students to succeed in his or her future career."
