Tide Pride: Facts, Figures and Brags About UA Online

We’re proud of the opportunities we offer our students. Here's what some of our Fall 2025 graduates told us about their experience:

UA Online’s flexible program allowed me to work full time and raise two active boys while pursuing my education. The ability to balance family, career and school made UA the perfect choice.

Brianna Hayes, Hazel Green, Ala.

I chose UA because the faculty made me feel supported from day one, even at a distance. What set UA apart was the combination of strong academics, genuine care, and the feeling of truly belonging to the Crimson Tide family.

Melissa Londono, Tampa, Fla.

As a working professional with multiple responsibilities, the flexibility of distance learning was essential, but I didn’t just want flexibility. I wanted quality, reputation and a sense of belonging. The University of Alabama delivered all three.

Miesha Mims, Bossier City, La.

UA Online gave me flexibility with real academic rigor, helping me grow personally and professionally while proving I can overcome difficult challenges. This experience has made me a better leader and more confident in serving my community.

Mike Roman, Marietta, Ga.

It was my dream school as a kid and to achieve this level of success at my dream school is something I will forever cherish.

Delton Lewis, Huntsville, Ala.
