Student Testimonials

Sourabh from India, Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering
"I'm working full-time as a project analyst in the engineering department of Ford Motor Company in Michigan. What the company was looking for was exactly what I studied in the INTO pathway and the university. When I was a student at UAB, all classes that I took are very related to my job requirements. In addition, I was working with my professor for 1.5 years, and I got the graduate assistance job from School of Engineering after I completed my pathway at INTO UAB. I also built electrical-related devices for medical department at UAB. I think these experiences really helped me to get this good job."

"When I chose to study biotechnology at UAB, it was because of the high ranking of the university...I'm doing research in breast cancer treatment where I look into antibody development and target therapy. Studing in the Pathway Program in biotechnology, you are taught the business skills to commercialize ideas and to find solutions using science.
