Thank you for visiting the UAB Career Center website.
The UAB Career Center exists to ensure students and alumni are prepared for and connected to career opportunity.
We believe meaningful career development happens when students connect what they learn in the classroom with experiences that help them apply their knowledge, build confidence, and explore possibilities. Career development is a shared effort, and we are proud to partner with students, alumni, employers, faculty, families, and campus colleagues to create opportunities that support success during college and beyond. I invite you to explore our resources, connect with our team, and allow us to help you put your UAB experience to work!
