To apply to The University of Alabama Graduate School, you must hold the equivalent of a U.S. four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. You must also meet all Graduate School requirements and program-specific requirements.
We consider many three-year degrees to be equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree.
