Athens State University Revenue and Competitors

Welcome to Athens State University, a truly unique Alabama institution of higher education. You have chosen to become a member of our community, and we are glad to have you here. I want to take just a moment to talk about some of the things that set us apart from other colleges and universities. First and foremost, we are Alabama’s oldest educational institution, founded in 1822. We have a long and rich heritage of serving Alabama and we look forward to serving you. Being the oldest educational institution, however, doesn’t mean that we are old fashioned about what we do. You will find a rich blend of modern and traditional methods of instruction. We are thoroughly focused on taking care of the educational needs of our students. For some of you that will mean traditional one on one attention from our faculty, others will find their schedule is better served by our distance or on-line delivery methods. In either case, your education here will stand the test of time. Our faculty have a well-deserved reputation for excellence as evidenced by our on-going accreditation from a number of professional associations.
