Company Overview
The total economic impact of The University of Alabama System exceeds $10 billion a year, but the value of our System far surpasses any single financial metric.

The University of AlabamaOpens in a new window, The University of Alabama in HuntsvilleOpens in a new window, and The University of Alabama at BirminghamOpens in a new window, along with the UAB Health SystemOpens in a new window, together comprise Alabama’s most effective high-performance job engine.

As Alabama’s largest employer with more than 40,000 team members, we are equivalent to the population of a mid-size Alabama city. With combined revenues of $6 billion annually, the UA System ranks alongside the state’s largest corporations.
Impact studies demonstrate that the UA System represents a high-yielding investment for Alabama, which benefits from double-digit returns on state appropriations. The return is also significant for students, who amass substantially higher lifetime earnings through degrees.
