Hey! Anyone know about the in-state tuition for UAB? I'm from Alabama and looking for prospective colleges within the state. How much does a year at UAB cost for an in-state student, all expenses accounted for?
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has a complex tuition structure due to its many different programs, but I can provide some ballpark figures for you. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated annual in-state tuition and fees for an undergraduate student at UAB is around $11,310. But please bear in mind, this excludes room and board, books and supplies, and personal expenses, which will substantially add to the overall cost.
When you include room and board, which is around $13,210 for a standard double occupancy room with a regular meal plan, the total comes nearer to $24,520.
On top of this, you might need to budget an estimated $1,200 for books and supplies, and a few thousand dollars for personal expenses and transportation, which can all depend on personal lifestyle and habits. This would bring the total cost of attendance to roughly $25,720 per year.
Keep in mind that there is financial aid available! Most students won't pay the full sticker price and you may be eligible for scholarships, grants, or work-study programs that could offset some of these costs.
Just remember, these are estimated figures. For the most accurate information, you should visit UAB's official website or contact their financial aid office.
