A Guide for International Students

Welcome to Study Alabama

Study Alabama is a guide for international students. We, at Study Alabama, aim to enhance the global awareness of the exceptional educational opportunities available at Alabama’s higher education institutions and high schools. In response to the growing efforts of other nations to promote their own educational institutions, the United States must take a more proactive stance in reaching out to international students who have a multitude of educational choices. This consortium represents a significant stride in strengthening Alabama’s ability to compete on the international stage.

The objectives of Study Alabama include:

Promote Alabama and its schools.
Increase the number of institutions participating in the international student program.
Improve the number of international students enrolling at Alabama institutions.
Create a strong relationship between Alabama and schools abroad.
Enhance communication among Alabama institutions.
