The University of Alabama in Huntsville emerged on the academic stage much like any other institution of higher learning, but the development of the city’s space exploration research in the 1960s had a huge influence on the school’s trajectory. Largely thanks to the close proximity of Huntsville’s NASA rocket facilities, UAH features a number of specialized programs geared toward rocketry and aerospace sciences, including Aerophysics, Rotorcraft Systems Engineering, and Propulsion Research, rounded out by the traditional offerings in the fields of the arts, business, and social sciences. The university’s location just west of Downtown Huntsville is full of great rental options available for any budget, with many great apartments, condos, and houses within easy walking distance of the main campus. Popular shopping areas like the Bridge Street Town Centre are close by, and Huntsville’s charming city center is full of terrific restaurants, bars, and nightlife venues; catch a band at Jefferson Street Pub, sip a craft cocktail at Amendment XXI, or hit the dance floor at Sammy T’s. With Huntsville’s location in the Appalachian foothills, you’re only a short drive away from weekend adventures in the region’s stunning natural landscape.
