Alabama Colleges

Alabama Colleges Summary

Alabama has more than 70 college and adult education institutions, with more than 250,000 students. Just under 6% of the Alabama's population attends one of these schools. The average SAT score for those students who attend schools requiring such scores is about 960 out of 1600.

More than 50% of the colleges and adult education institutions in Alabama are public, making it one of only eight states in the U.S. that can claim that high a percentage. Correspondingly, Alabama ranks highly in terms of the percentage of students who attend public schools, with just under 90% of the student enrollment.

Southeastern Bible College is notable because of the high SAT scores required to get admission. Three quarters of admitted students have an average SAT score of at least 1380. There are several very large colleges in Alabama, including the University of Alabama without more than 30,000 students, Auburn University with about 25,000 students, and Troy University with about 17,000 students.
