The University of Alabama’s College of Engineering recently celebrated its 175 year anniversary.

On-Campus Engineering Schools in Alabama

If you would prefer a less populous campus, smaller programs in engineering are also available in Alabama. Jacksonville State University is about one fourth of the size of the largest universities in Alabama and offers bachelor programs in electronics and manufacturing engineering. There are also private schools with engineering programs in Alabama. Samford University is a private Baptist college that offers a bachelor degree in engineering physics.

Graduate Engineering Degree Options in Alabama

There are several options for students looking to further their education in engineering. The University of South Alabama has master’s of engineering programs in Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. There are many different types of engineering programs to choose from in Alabama as well as many different educational experiences to consider.

For those looking for easy recognition, good rankings, and online options, then the University of Alabama or Auburn University might be the best fit. However, students looking for a smaller campus and a more personalized experience, then Samford University and Jacksonville State University are great schools to consider.
