Dear International Students
On behalf of the State of Alabama, I am pleased to extend a
warm Southern welcome and an invitation to come and learn in
"Alabama the Beautiful". Alabama boasts some of the
most challenging and diverse educational opportunities available
anywhere in the United States and her scenic beauty provides a
wonderful backdrop - from her rolling hills in the North, to the
pristine lakes of central Alabama, to the sugary sands of her
gulf coast beaches, Alabama's unparalleled natural beauty
provides a perfect complement to the social, economic and
educational opportunities which exist here.
Whether your interests lie in science and mathematics,
history and the arts, or somewhere in between, Alabama's
colleges and universities provide skilled instruction at all
levels and in all disciplines. Alabama's schools also offer wide
choices in the type of learning environment available - from
large universities to small colleges, two or four-year schools,
Alabama provides quality instruction and world class facilities
to accommodate your needs.
Only Alabama can boast of a world class teaching hospital
which is on the cutting edge of the latest developments in
medicine like that at the University of Alabama at Birmingham,
while also offering a true world-wide system of small, personal
and interconnected schools which live up to their promise to
give their students an unmatched education "one student at a
time" like the Troy State University system, while excelling in
agriculture and veterinarian education opportunities on the
plains of East Alabama at Auburn University. Alabama's colleges
have long, proud, varied traditions which they blend seamlessly
with an awareness and preparedness for the future. Again, I
welcome you to Alabama and encourage you to take full advantage
of the educational opportunities she has to offer.
Sincerely
Fob James Jr. Governor, Alabama
