Daily Campus Tours
UAH campus tours are offered Monday-Friday and select Saturdays throughout the year. During your visit, you’ll get the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a part of Charger Nation and have the opportunity to ask questions about the admissions process, financial aid and scholarships, student life, and housing.

One of the main selling points of UAH was the job and research opportunities available. I was able to receive a civil engineering internship here in Huntsville during my sophomore year, which was an amazing experience! When I first started college, I did not think I would have this kind of job experience until after I graduated, but through UAH I am.
