Alabama State University was founded in 1867, in Marion, AL., as a school for African Americans. The school started as the Lincoln Normal School with $500 raised by nine formerly enslaved men now known as the Marion Nine, making ASU one of the nation’s oldest institutions of higher education founded for black Americans.
Today, Alabama State University, located in Montgomery, AL., is a widely respected, world-class institution of higher learning that welcomes students of all races. We offer more than sixty undergraduate and graduate degree programs, from our historic teacher education program to a list of high-demand programs such as the Doctorate in Physical Therapy, the Ph.D. in microbiology, the Master of Accountancy, the master’s in social work and the Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance.
The students who attend ASU are as diverse as our academic offerings, with students from more than forty-one states and twenty-one countries seeking a top-notch education that extends far beyond the walls of a classroom. With a twenty to1 student-faculty ratio, students receive the personal attention, mentoring, encouragement, and knowledge needed to achieve their dreams.
